Championing Every Speller
Prepare Them for Success
Be Their First Champion
The Scripps National Spelling Bee is about much more than spelling, word origins and correct pronunciation. It's about inspiring confidence and a love of language that lasts a lifetime.
Our spellers are capable of more than they ever dreamed. Participating in a spelling bee teaches them valuable lessons about sportsmanship, public speaking and the value of friendship. Share the resources they need to succeed in the Bee and in life.
Behind every speller is a teacher who first believed in their potential. Take the first step on your students' journey to Washington, D.C.
Set the Stage
We've worked closely with schools and educators since the very first National Spelling Bee in 1925. Our partnerships have helped us develop the tools teachers and students need to succeed at every level of the Bee, from the classroom all the way to Washington, D.C.
Word Club
Our online study tool helps students prepare for every round of the Bee. Word Club has the tools and resources they need for success, including free access to spelling and vocabulary materials.
