There are various advantages to encouraging youngsters to participate in a Spell Bee competition. The Spell Bee exam prepares participants to have a more thorough knowledge of words rather than just the actual memorization of words. It enables the class 4 students to learn the word's meaning, pronunciation, vocabulary and much more.

The greatest method to get ready for a Spelling Bee is through dictation. Regular dictation practice will surely help the child in the Spell Bee competition. Practicing previous years’ Spell Bee sample papers will help them avoid mistakes brought on by stress and anxiety during the competition.

For your preparation, CREST Olympiads has provided class 4 previous year paper for the CREST International Spelling Bee (Summer). The correct answer to each question is also provided at the end of the previous year paper.
