Win Spelling Bee with customized tutoring program

eSpindle Learning is the first eLearning program that supports Spelling Bee participants in preparing for the big moment on stage, helping them to win the spelling bee. In preparation for the big event, some eSpindle members study 1000 words per week! eSpindle starts with traditional Spelling Bee words, like those from the former Paideia word list, and then moves on to other typical Spelling Bee words.

eSpindle effectively simulates the Bee spelling environment: Listening to an audio file, complemented by additional resources, is followed by active spelling of the word.

It provides structured tutoring by presenting the more frequently used Paideia spelling words prior to the infrequently used ones - and coaching the easier words before moving on to the harder ones.
You can choose your starting level for the quiz in the preference settings. However, since even a supposedly "easy" word can throw you out of the competition, we recommend to start at the lowest level and to go through the words systematically.

Step by step the program introduces nearly 30,000 words, classifying them by how frequently they are used in Spelling Bees.

eSpindle's patent pending technology will always monitor your progress, registering which words you know and which ones you need to practice to win the National Spelling Bee.
Every time you log back on, a new quiz will be waiting, customized to your skill level and focusing on your "problem words".

Every word has direct links to answers.com, ThinkMap's innovative Visual Thesaurus, Merriam Webster's online dictionary and the Wikipedia Encyclopedia, so that curiosity can be easily satisfied.
Students will also benefit tremendously from Shirley Brainy’s pages, explaining word roots and offering learning tips.

First online forum just for Spelling Bee contestants

We know that studying for the Spelling Bee is demanding. That is why we have created a Spelling Bee forum!

Students can connect here with others who are preparing for the competition, and share motivation, tips and experiences.
In this safe, moderated environment you can find encouragement and friendship.

It is free for all, but open only to Spelling Bee participants.
   
We are delighted to announce that David Riddle, 2005 National Senior Spelling Bee Champion, has recently joined the Spelling Bee forum. He sent us an amusing report of his moment of fame at the musical 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
