Spelling Bee
Grades 1–12
Grades 1–12
The FACCS Spelling Bee sharpens spelling skill, vocabulary, and poise under pressure — giving students from first through twelfth grade a platform to use their God-given abilities and encourage peers from Christian schools and homeschools across Florida.
Who can take part: Participation is limited to students from FACCS member schools and homeschool families.
How it works
Students compete orally in a say–spell–say format, and may ask for a word's pronunciation, definition, part of speech, language of origin, or use in a sentence. Everyone competes against others on their own grade level, so there is a champion for each grade, 1 through 12. A capitalization error never eliminates a speller.
From your school to the state stage
Each school or homeschool group chooses their top spellers compete at a Regional Bee, and the top finishers in each grade advance to the State Bee, where the champion speller is determined for each grade level.
Recognition
Every participant receives a certificate, ribbons are awarded to top placements at regionals, and state champions receive a trophy.
