Tips to Shine in Your Spelling Bee

• Practice daily: Try spelling simple words like "dog," "tree," or "book."
• Say it out loud: Hearing the word helps, like saying "S-U-N" for "sun."
• Break it down: Split tricky words into parts, like "hap-py" for "happy" or "but-ter-fly" for "butterfly."
• Write it down: Practice writing words to see how they look, like "school" or "friend."
• Team up: Ask a friend, parent, or teacher to quiz you with words like "apple" or "house."
• Stay calm: Take a deep breath if a word feels hard, and spell one letter at a time!
