Eason Spelling Bee improves your spelling!
A great competition we came across this week is being run by Eason. Eason is challenging schools in every county across Ireland to have fun and improve their spelling in a competition to find the Eason Spelling Bee champion schools.
In each county, a county Spelling Bee will offer to all schools the chance to enter and compete. The best speller from each county will go to the provincial finals. Finally, the four provincial winners will then compete for the Eason All-Ireland Spelling Bee Title on Tubridy on 2FM on June 22nd in RTE Studios.
The first prize constitutes a book library to the value of €7,500 and every entrants wins a book.
