Spelling is a flowering process which forms its roots while in Kindergarten and subconsciously keeps growing and developing during the blooming or formative years while in school. At the elementary level, Dictations are conducted, primarily to get the words spellings correct. Spellings form the major component of English Language.
In the time and age of auto-correct, predictive text and spell check, 'ESPELLAR' - Inter-class Competition was organised by WIS, Pawan Baug which came as a whiff of fresh breeze for the students of Grades I –V on 21st and 22nd September 2017. This competition made students aware of spellings and the usage of many familiar and unfamiliar words. It was a wonderful learning experience not only for the participants but also for their peers and served to enrich the vocabulary bank of the students.
For the competition, 9 students from each grade represented their own class. The competition comprised of various rounds wherein students had to identify the picture & spell it, give the words based on its meaning, unscramble the words and fill in the vowels to complete the word. Students were made aware about the rules at the beginning of the each round and they were rewarded points for their accurate answer.
Students were given proper instructions to play through each of the rounds. They were also supported and asked to write the chosen word correctly, not to say the letters out aloud until sure about it. All the contestants gave their best to win the competition and make their own class feel proud. Audience cheered and constantly encouraged the contestants with their applauses.
Each round welcomed difficulty, this ESPELLAR Competition was a great learning tool for students and an excellent revision activity too. Certificates shall be awarded to the winners in the assembly. Teachers were immensely impressed with the enthusiasm and effort that the children displayed by learning their lists of words.
