Sign Up For 2022 PM’s Spelling Bee
Federal Member for Macquarie Susan Templeman said the spelling bee, hosted by Kids News, is a fun way for students to develop a passion for words.
“Spelling bees are a lot of fun, and they have wider benefits like helping children develop confidence and a real love of words and language,” Ms Templeman said.
“Literacy skills provide a fundamental base to learning other skills.”
Ms Templeman said schools in Macquarie can register to take part in this free competition by August 19 by visiting: www.spelling-bee.com.au
“I would love to see all our local schools getting involved in the Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee,” Ms Templeman said.
“It is a great way for schools and their students to develop a love for words and spelling, which helps to improve literacy, comprehension and critical thinking.”
The Australian Government has provided over $345,000 of funding to support the initiative.
