This book is an excellent, entertaining resource for children who may aspire to go to the Scripps National Spelling Bee. It contains many helpful suggestions and is written in an interesting way. It’s very readable and I’d recommend it to anyone with a child with that goal.

This book is very thorough and informative. It’s written in a way that makes it enjoyable to read. It covers from the history of Bees through detailed hints on preparing for a Bee. It even includes games that will help you prepare.
As a Mom of a future Bee participant, I recommend this book wholeheartedly.

We purchased this book for our son who found himself the winner of the local county spelling bee. In reviewing preparation tips for the upcoming state and Scripps national bee, various sources and people recommended this book as a must have. After receiving it, we tend to agree. The book combines helpful spelling tips and hints with words that are associated with various topics (music, healthcare, etymology, sports, etc). The authors are former winners or parents of former winners and provide an insiders view of spelling bees as well as learning tips.
