6th Grade Spelling Bee

Practice spelling 50 words commonly found in 6th grade spelling bee competitions. Each card presents a word as the question — say the word aloud as a proctor would. The correct answer is the word spelled out letter by letter in uppercase (e.g., "A B S E N C E"). Alternate answers include the plain lowercase spelling (e.g., "absence") so that both formats are accepted when scoring.
