Tips to Practice Spelling Bee Words
1) Make sure students have enough time to prepare for spelling bee competitions. Give them plenty of spelling practice all year. Participate in spelling games and other activities.
2) Encourage students to create goals for how many words they wish to learn every week. They should also make goals for how much time they will spend studying each day.
3) Students should keep personal notebooks with the phrases they want to learn.
4) When quizzing students, use sentences that include our 3rd grade spelling bee words. This is particularly important for homonyms. For example, you’re should be defined such that it is not mistaken with your: You’re the first person to come at the party.
