Spelling Bee
What do children who go on to the National Spelling Bee study?
Our daughter is an excellent speller but I'd like to teach her word origins and various strategies to make her spelling skills even easier. What do children who go on to the National Spelling bee study?
I don't want my daughter to be in a spelling bee I just want her to be able to know the strategies so that spelling can become even easier for her. She enjoys spelling and is very good at it as I said before. But as far as preparing her for a spelling bee I wouldn't put that kind of pressure on her. Thanks!
There are really nice dictionaries that clearly state word origins and complete meanings in other languages. But these dictionaries are usually big and expensive. Etymology Dictionaries are specifically made for word origins. Also there are a few online sites listed in my sources.
