This Scripps Spelling is for homeschoolers who would like to participate in the County Spelling Bee and have the opportunity to win and compete in the next-level competitions. We'll be having weekly practices, mock competitions, and you'll get a spot on our official team to compete at the county level (and possibly further!). We will cover all 450 recommended words for school spelling bees from the Scripps National Spelling Bee official site.
