It’s fun to teach little kids how to spell words. One- they love playing this game. Two- it sets their mind thinking. Three- It engages them in a most useful way, without any screen time. Every year, we witness the Spelling Bee competitions conducted in various parts of the world- and it’s a matter of pride that Indian kids outshine the others when it comes to spelling. But as parents of a generation that is way smarter than us, are we raising them right? Are we giving them the right exposure to learning and books that help them enhance their skills? As a mother to a 3-year-old girl, who has just started spelling words and finds it very interesting, I wanted to take it up a notch further. That’s when I heard about SpellingBuzz.com.Â
About SpellingBuzz.com
SpellingBuzz.com is a web-based service for school children to practice their spelling and improve their vocabulary. The inspiration behind SpellingBuzz.com is a little girl named Emily. When her parents found her surrounded by books and the urge to learn, they knew what was in store. Emily was eager to participate in her school’s spelling contests and when she did and won prizes, they knew there was more in store for her.
Her parents were very proud of her, but she wanted to represent her school in the district contest- which she did earlier this year! Emily’s mother- Xiaoyu Hopkins- a non-native English speaker and software engineer by profession decided to help Emily in her way. She launched SpellingBuzz.com– an affordable, modernised, and effective tool set for vocabulary and spelling skill developments for children.
