Our school is making plans to initiate a spelling bee competition for grade 1-5 within the homeroom. 

Step One: Students should first learn the 50 study words for their grade level and the grade level above. A word list will be provided each student.  If they loose their list they can print them out at home using the website links below.  

Step Two:  Once students in grades 3 -5 first masters the 50 study words for their grade and the next highest grade level they may go on to the higher grade level words in the grades 1–8. Example - if a student is in third grade they would not go back to the lists in grades one and two.  If necessary the teacher could use words in the higher grade level list and the 2010 Spell It! (I would not recommend this list to students in grades 1 & 2).

*Teachers will be providing the initial spelling list for the students to study.  The homeroom teachers will use the student grade level list and above to determine the class winner.
