Oral Competition

Saturday, March 5, 2011

The Saginaw City Wide Elementary Spelling Bee is offered to all elementary schools within the city limits of our school district; including parochial schools.

The Spelling Bee has two dimensions of competition. First, we have the Written portion of the Bee. This will be held on March 1, 2011 registration begins at 3:30 p.m. with the competition beginning at 4:00p.m. Second, we have the Oral portion of the Bee. This will be held in the auditorium on Saturday March 5,2011. Registration begins at 8:30a.m. with the competition beginning at 9:00a.m. All participants of the Oral competition must also participate in the Written Competition. Prizes are awarded to spellers who place in the top three of each competition.

We will use the "Spell It” 2011 as our word list guide. Because of a change in the word list from the “Paidea” to “Spell It,” we are making a minor format change. All word listed in a word list in “Spell It” are eligible to be used. Words listed as “Challenge words” are eligible to be used where we have previously used “Intermediate” words.

For a list of the 2011 “Spell It” word list contact Cynthia Harris– Spelling Bee coordinator at (989) 399-6577
