Spelling Bee
Join Us for the FSE Delaware Spelling Bee Competition!
First State Educate is thrilled to announce the FSE Delaware Spelling Bee Competition! This exciting event offers a unique opportunity to highlight student excellence in elementary and middle schools across your district!
We all recognize the critical role strong literacy skills play in academic success. Spelling Bees cultivate these skills by motivating students to enhance their spelling and vocabulary, ultimately boosting reading comprehension. Additionally, they provide a platform for students to develop vital life skills such as public speaking, building confidence, and overcoming stage fright. Most importantly, the Spelling Bee ignites a love for language and lifelong learning, empowering students to reach their full potential.
The FSE Delaware Spelling Bee is more than just a competition; it’s a collaborative journey that builds partnerships among families, educators, and the community, all working together to support student success!
This year, we’re hosting one statewide competition. FSE is sponsoring this Spelling Bee so that all students whose schools do not participate in the Scripps Spelling Bee can participate in a qualifying event. The FSE Spelling Bee will be held in February 1st, 2025 in Dover, Delaware.
The FSE Delaware Spelling Bee is a powerful tool for championing the importance of literacy skills and fueling students' intrinsic motivation to master the English language. Student success in the competition will inspire our collective focus on literacy achievement and allow us to showcase the remarkable capabilities of students attending Delaware's public schools.
We eagerly anticipate partnering with you to ensure the 2025 Delaware Spelling Bee is an overwhelming success!
