Information and Instructions for the 2024-25 GAE Spelling Bee
Dear Spelling Bee Coordinator:
The Georgia State Spelling Bee Committee of the Georgia Association of Educators (GAE) will begin planning for the 2025-2026 Bee season this summer. The committee looks forward to another exciting and fruitful year of spelling bee competitions throughout the state. All 2025 Scripps participant schools will receive an email in mid-August detailing everything they will need to know about the registering for the 2025-2026 Bee season.
Tune in during Scripps Bee week -- May 26 - 30 -- to cheer on Georgia's two representatives, Sarv Dharavane and Sara Daoud!
HAPPY S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G!
Susan Tallant, Chair
GAE State Spelling Bee Committee
The GAE membership would like to congratulate Georgia's Spelling Bee Champion Sarv Dharavane and Runner-up Sara Daoud as they prepare to represent Georgia at the Scripps national Spelling Bee in May!

GAE Bee Information
Bee Study Resources
The GAE Spelling Bee Committee does not furnish any practice list of words to use for your speller. The ultimate recommended guide is using Webster’s 3rd New Unabridged Online International Dictionary as a study reference (http://unabridged.merriam-webster.com/). Your school can access any Scripps study material once it has enrolled and has the receipt of the enrollment fee. Those materials may be downloaded and printed for the school winner for ongoing study.
For additional popular study sites search the internet for Bee study resources.
