Tips to Remember
1) Keep in mind the main reason for having a spelling bee. (Wait! Do you understand what it is?!? Is it a challenge for your students to learn new words? Would you like to encourage kids to compete orally? Are you aiming to highlight your strong spellers? There may be numerous valid causes. Always consider the best interests of students, especially those as young as second grade.
2) Support your students in preparing for any spelling bee. Use some of my spelling games and practice ideas on a frequent basis.
3) Use our 2nd grade spelling bee terms in phrases during the spelling bee. This is important with any word, but especially as the words advance challenging.
4) Make sure students understand the term you’re asking them to spell. At the start of the spelling bee, inform students that they can request that a word be repeated.
