A Spelling Bee is a competition where participants, often children, are asked to spell a variety of words correctly. Contestants take turns spelling words aloud, and they may receive definitions or use the words in sentences to help them. The goal is to correctly spell as many words as possible without making mistakes. These events can be held at different levels, from local schools to national competitions like the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Participants often prepare by studying word lists and practicing their spelling skills. Spelling Bees promote literacy and encourage a love for language among young learners.
