Study Tips

  • Read different types of books to enrich your word bank. 
  • Compile a spelling notebook. Different sections can feature troublesome word endings, homonyms, troublesome double-letter spellings, or specialized terms.
  • Watch some of the previous LPS Spelling Bees on YouTube or visit Scripps National Spelling Bee’s website to learn tips and tricks from accomplished spellers.
