The SpellPundit Online Spelling Bee Semi-Finals oral rounds for Group A and Group B will be live streamed on SpellPundit Facebook page from 6 PM CST today. Please stay tuned!
When Scripps called off the National Spelling Bee in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, many spellers, especially students who are currently in 8th grade, were very disappointed to hear the news. SpellPundit decided to conduct our own online spelling bee in the same week of May to give these spellers a chance to compete. We have received an overwhelming response and many thank you notes from parents for planning the online competition.
The SpellPundit online spelling bee competition has also been getting a lot of media attention from Associated Press, New York Times, NPR, CBS, Scripps News, etc. Here is the latest interview with SpellPundit’s co-founders Shobha Dasari and Shourav Dasari! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUl1FT8Ke_A&feature=youtu.be
Saturday Feb 29th was a Super Bee Day! Bee Winners, Runner-Up, 2nd Runner-Up and many top rankers at every bee were SpellPundit Students. Congratulations to all the SpellPundit spellers for doing so well. Vayun Krishna (Bay Area Winner), Dean Alkhairy (Orange County), Vikram Goddla (Oakland Bee Winner), Nidhi Achanta (Seattle Bee Winner), and Cameron Keith (Boulder Bee Winner) are heading to Scripps National Spelling in DC. SpellPundit wishes you good luck!
