Please download/view the following documents below to have your child start preparing for Einstein PTSA's Spelling Bee!

• 2026 Spelling Bee Rules: Please try to go through the rules book to get a clear insight into what to expect.
• Word List (450 Words): Used for the Preliminary Written Round. You can find the definitions of the words in the Vocabulary List That will be emailed to you after registration.
• Words of the Champions 2026 List : It is recommended to review this list as some words from this will be used in the Final School Spelling Bee, if we exhaust the list of 450 words. The list will also be useful for the school winner, who will be participating in the regional competition.
• Bee’s Great Words, Great Works Reading List: Includes engaging, grade-appropriate books for elementary and middle school students. All of the words from 2025 School Spelling Bee Study List can be found in the Great Words, Great Works books, allowing your students to get in depth knowledge of the usage of those words.
• Study Tips: It takes hard work and dedication to earn the title of best speller in the world! These are Scripps' top tips for success at every level, from classroom to school and regional to national levels.
• Merriam Webster Dictionary: It is recommended that you use this source to hear the pronunciation of each and every word. It also has details about the origin of the word, examples, alternate pronunciation and meaning. This website is recommended by Scripps for pronunciation. The Pronouncer will use this site as the standard for both, final school spelling bee and the regionals.
