Since 11-year-old Frank Neuhauser won the first National Spelling Bee in
Washington, D.C. in 1925, Spelling Bees have been enthralling students, parents
and teachers around the world. The word bee, in this context, means a meeting
of people for a common cause. The event is so popular in the USA, that the
national finalists are invited to meet the President at the White House every year!
Across Asia, over 3,00,000 students hone their vocabulary skills at the
MaRRS International Spelling Bee. Now in its eleventh year, this word marathon
attracts students from over 1,500 schools across Malaysia, Indonesia, Kuwait, UAE
and South Africa, apart from 21 Indian states. Soon, we at MaRRS will reach across
Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Bahrain and UK.
DICTATION: 15 words are dictated along with their meanings. Each word will be
dictated thrice. The students have to write the words within the time allotted
for each word.
JUMBLED LETTERS: Ten scrambled words will be given to the students along
with their meanings. The students have to rearrange the letters, identify the
correct word using the clues, and write them in the space provided.
ORAL Rounds
SPELL IT: This is more or less like our Dictation round. For all categories, words
will be dictated to the students and they have to identify the word by hearing
them. Students can ask for the meaning, if needed. Two marks will be awarded
to every right answer. The student can go on until he / she gives a wrong
answer. This is the best round for students to score more marks.
