This year, we will use the Scripps National Spelling Bee’s online testing platform to hold our Homeschool Alabama preliminary spelling bee via an online spelling test. This will be available January 1-12, 2025. The top students (approximately 20) from this preliminary bee will advance to the state homeschool bee on February 1.

Please register your family here .  

The cost is $15 plus a 4% fee for credit card and web use, for a total of $20.60. The deadline to register is on or before December 31, 2024. After you register you will receive an email with word lists to study so the earlier you register, the better for your student.

You may have a question about our registration closing by December 31, because the national spelling bee allows registration through January. However, the Alabama deadline to get our winner info to them is mid-February. So our deadline must be earlier than January 31.
