The Spelling Bee format for class and school bees will be oral.  
 
The student will be given a word and the speller will repeat the word, spell it, and say the word again.  If it is necessary to re-start the word, the spelling must be exactly the same as given so far. 
 
Two school winners (3rd grade or higher) will advance to the Regional Spelling Bee
