National Spelling Bee CrashCourse Brochure - We now offer an intense 6-week study program designed for those focused on winning their regional bees and those who have made it to the nationals. The CrashCourse includes group sessions and an individualized assessment of each student's spelling abilities. Our spelling coach, Michelle Horton, does more than test spellers on word lists. She has 6 years of experience coaching at the national level and teaches spelling rules, etymology, and how to analyze a new word to determine its correct spelling. Download the CrashCourse brochure to review the program and see if it is right for your speller.
