Spelling was never my best subject. My high school teachers were always appalled at my efforts (we did have computers, but they were not in use like today). For some reason they thought an AP student should be able to spell!
Spell-check on my computer is a life-saver. However, I hope to impart a better sense of spelling to my children than I ever had.
May 30-31, 2007 marks the 80th Scripps National Spelling Bee. Are you ready?
Here is a fun website to check out - Mirriam-Webster Online's Spelling Bee Hive has spelling quizzes, word games, a word of the day, and much more. This will be the 50th year Mirriam-Webster has been involved with the Spelling Bee, and this website is a great way to celebrate!
Happy spelling!
