The 2015 Virginian-Pilot Spelling Bee

For the eighth year in a row, WHRO hosted The Virginian-Pilot Spelling Bee live in our studio! Throughout southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina, public schools, independent schools and home school associations all held local school bees and sent their winners to WHRO, where the area’s finest middle school spellers competed for the regional title. From here, the first place winner will travel to Washington, D.C., to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

I know you can look it up in the dictionary, but if it has silent letter(s) in front, it could be hard to find,.

[@aatb7]

They should say the correct spelling when someone gets it wrong. It’s disappointing enough without knowing how it’s really spelled.
