Best Spellers: A Spell Bee Challenge for Junior School Boys

Published on: 12 Feb 2022

Ever since its inception, M. C. Kejriwal Vidyapeeth has been proactive and steadfast in providing its students an all-encompassing exposure. Best Spellers, hosted by the English Department, on 12th February, 2022, was an attempt of a similar kind. The final round of the spell bee challenge for the junior school boys was designed as per the internationally acclaimed spell bee competitions that are immensely popular globally.

It was truly a delight to see our little champions duel with some of the most difficult spellings in the English language. The competition was planned with the primary intent of motivating our students to learn standardized spelling and spark a love for the language. However, the literary, cognitive and life skills that they developed through study and competing have benefits far beyond the scope of mere spelling ability, reaching into every aspect of life and communication. At the end of the day, the hunt for the stellar spellers ended with Anurag Mukherjee (1B) and Kavyansh Sikchi (2C) being declared the winners in the Foundational Stage, while Rishav Mukherjee (3C) and Aayush Banerjee (4B) proved to be the best spellers in the Preparatory Stage.

The event was fun-filled and insightful at the same time. Indeed, in a world where auto correct, predictive text and spell checkers are the norm, the competition was a draught of fresh breeze.
