Why CREST International Spell Bee (Summer 2021)?

The importance of each and every word that we read or write on a daily basis in our day to day life is immense. Let's say for instance someone asks you 'woh tea ggnio'?, you will probably be very confused and won't understand anything at all. This proves that without proper words, our life would be very difficult.

These are the foundation of our language skills. Even though there isn’t a strong link between a word spelling and intelligence but spellings are essential to comprehend things. Knowing spellings is that one skill which stays with us for our entire life.

We often make mistakes in confusing spellings like Accommodate, Misspell, Pronunciation, Calendar, Privilege, Embarrass and many more. Also, you must have observed that whenever our spelling is perfect, it is not seen by anyone but if the spelling is incorrect, it attracts flak. Hence, Spell Bee examinations are necessary to enhance a student’s vocabulary and making him/her capable of putting across his/her thoughts more clearly with uninvited advice.
