HOW DO I KNOW WHAT WORDS TO STUDY? THERE'S, LIKE, A MILLION OF THEM!
Don't worry! Scripps National Spelling Bee provides a study list of about 500 words to help narrow things down. It is the best place to begin preparing for the Falcon Spelling Bee! Many competition words come from this list, so getting familiar with them will give you a strong foundation.
But here's the twist: Not every word in the competition will be on the study list! As the bee progresses, spellers may encounter unfamiliar words, too. Practice recognizing spelling patterns, word origins, and pronunciation clues to help tackle words you've never seen before.
WHAT ABOUT WORDS NOT ON THE STUDY LIST?
Once you've mastered the study list, take your preparation to the next level with Words of the Champions 2027: Your Key to the Bee, an official Scripps resource featuring approximately 4,000 words. These words may appear in later rounds of the Falcon Spelling Bee and could also help prepare students for the State Spelling Bee Online Qualifier, where our top three Falcon finishers will advance.
Words of the Champions is an optional study resource available for purchase through the link below.
