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 3rd grade spelling bee words in sentences when quizzing students. This is especially important with homonyms. For instance, you're, should be clarified so it won't be confused with your: You're the first person to arrive at the party.
2) At the beginning of the spelling bee, tell students they must indicate
when a letter is to be
capitalized.
