The word list will include words from the 2014 Scripps list and the 2014 Spell It! Other age-appropriate words will be included.
Registration with Scripps National Spelling Bee is required for participation. Spellers will need to bring proof of registration and/or proof of enrollment in a registered association. (Families should register with Learning at Home for $10. Click here for registration information)
