How to make sure you get to compete in spelling bees?
1. Talk to your teacher
Make sure you ask your teacher if your school is registered to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee for the current academic year.
2. Ask your school to enroll
If your school is not registered through the Scripps National Spelling Bee, make sure to ask your school to register so you get a chance to compete and put all your hard work to good use!
3. Encourage other students to join you
If your school doesn't have a program yet, a great way to get your school's attention is by asking classmates to join you in showing interest in spelling bees. That'll surely get your school's attention!
