Miami Herald Spelling Bee

The Miami Herald is proud to bring for the 73rd year, the opportunity for South Florida Schools to participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee program.

Last year over 375 public and private school students in 4th – 8th grade levels participated from Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties.

The Middle School winner at the competition will represent their county and compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C. There will be one Middle School winner from Miami-Dade/Monroe and one winner from Broward County.

In addition to improving students’ spelling skills and increasing their vocabularies, spelling bee participation provides valuable experience in developing poise – a necessary skill for success in public speaking, performing arts and athletics.

Merriam-Webster is a proud sponsor and prize donor of the Miami Herald Spelling Bee.
