Spelling Bee Words Made Easy!

Win Your Next Spelling Bee with Effective Tutoring         
Listen to our story

Are you preparing for the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington or a local/county spelling bee?

LearnThatWord is the most effective program to learn a large number of spelling bee words quickly. And while you prepare for the big moment on stage, you also help literacy.

Try it free! You can take quite a few quizzes before you join, either via membership or Pay-Per-Result (Pay-Per-Result means you only pay if you struggled with a word and learned it with LearnThatWord).

Works with Your Spelling Bee Word List

Choose "Tutor me on Spelling Bee words" and your customized learning sessions will focus on typical spelling bee words. Step-by-step, LearnThatWord will introduce you to 30,000 common spelling bee words.

We provide structured tutoring by presenting the more frequently used spelling words prior to the infrequently used ones, and coaching the easier words before moving on to the harder ones. 

We Manage Your Progress

Every learning session is based on your personal learning profile. This allows you to focus your energy on words that you still need to practice, eliminating "busy work." 

Our Spelling Quiz is like an online spelling bee:
Listening to a word, complemented by additional resources, is followed by active spelling of the word.

Every word has direct links to additional resources, like Merriam-Webster, and our program will never show misspellings, focusing instead on the formation of clear Mental Orthographic Images (MOI).

In addition to the ready-made module, a large selection of spelling bee word lists can also be found in our word list archive: Members have submitted SpellIt, Paideia, Hexco lists, the Consolidated Word List, and many other grade-specific spelling bee word lists.
You can easily add your own, even supplementing our definitions with your own.

We also provide extensive lists of word roots and suffixes.

Online Forum Just for Spelling Bee Contestants

Studying for the Spelling Bee is demanding; that's why we have created our Spelling Bee forum!

Students can connect here with others who are preparing for the competition to find encouragement and friendship. The forum is free, but open only to those taking part in Spelling Bees. 

We are delighted to announce that David Riddle, 2005 National Senior Spelling Bee Champion, has also joined the Spelling Bee forum. He sent us an amusing report of his moment of fame at the musical 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
