Best spellers in Standard Four to Eight participating in the Kenya National Spelling Bee competition will have chance to represent Kenya in the African Spelling Bee and win lavish prizes.
The champion will take home Sh500, 000 and a laptop. The prize for the English teacher will be Sh50, 000 and the school will be rewarded with a 26-seater bus.
“English is an international language and good spelling is of great importance. We are keen to raise the level of spoken and written English to help maintain the reputation that Kenya has for well-educated young people and to promote a reading culture among learners,” said D.T Dobie, which is among prominent sponsors for the competition, in a statement.
Registration closes on May 27th and the Sub County Championships start on June 15th. The best three spellers in the Sub County competition will go forward to the County level.
In an exciting TV show three winners from each county will meet at the quarter finals. This will result in the best three winners in each group to proceed to the semifinals, which will feature 36 spellers competing in a clustered group competition.
