Important Tips

You may wish to adjust our list for your specific group of students. Feel free to use additional easier words, or insert some more difficult ones.

1) Be sure to use our 2nd grade spelling bee words in sentences when quizzing students. This is important with every word, but especially as the words become hard. 

2) Be sure students understand what word you are asking them to spell. At the beginning of the spelling bee, tell students they can ask to have a word repeated. 

We also have spelling bee lists for:

3rd grade
4th grade
5th grade
6th grade
7th grade
8th grade
