So, it is a little more than a traditional spelling bee competition as the participants have to be particular about their pronunciation as well. The purpose of this assessment is to help students to foster the lexical development in them, which becomes the basis of the English language. Let’s go deeper into what this assessment is all about and all the important points you must know before getting your kids into it.

Why Consider CREST International Spell Bee?

We might not notice but everything we say and write has immense importance in our lives and each work holds its unique meaning. If someone doesn’t pronounce a particular word right, the other person won’t even be able to understand that message that was meant to be given. It is even possible that the other person might interpret something else out of it which will be a case of miscommunication. This clarifies that without proper words, we might not be able to interact with each other and that could make our lives somewhat difficult.
