Studying

Spelling bees are really fun if you study and work hard. There are many different methods to it, and you can use whichever of them helps you the most. This article will cover how to study a list, and effective ways of remembering what you studied.

Primary Studying
This is the first step of studying effectively, and will cover how to get started on your way to a trophy. In order to study effectively, you have to first look over the list at a minimum, twice. I would also recommend reading all the words out loud. After you have done this, have someone read the words to you, and you spell them. Have them mark each word you get incorrect with a star. Look over the list again, and have someone read the list to you a second time. Again, have them mark the misspelled words with a star. At this point, you should know what words need studying, and what you already know. It is still recommended to look over all the words every now and then though.

Intermediate Studying
After you have done the primary studying, make a digital list of the words, so you always have them with you and they're more accessible. Focus on the specific words you missed, and study until you can spell them all correctly in one attempt. Once you have memorized all of the words, it is time for the more vigorous work.

Advanced Studying
Now that you have your digital list, go to a website like https://www.dictionary.com, and get the definition, pronunciation, part of speech, and language(s) of origin for each word, and add them to the digital list. Be sure to know the pronunciation very well in case the person pronouncing the words has an accent. It also helps to know the definition so if you're not sure about the pronunciation, if you recognize the definition you will know it is the same word. __INDEX__
