Scripps National Spelling Bee now requiring kids know definitions.


Word
:

Spelling bee
[spel-ing bee]
noun
-a spelling competition won by the individual or team spelling the greatest number of words correctly.

Tell that to the Scripps National Spelling Bee Executive Director, Paige Kimble, who helped lead a change in the scoring for the annual spelling bee. Now, 50% of the bee scoring will be based on an off-camera computer test that gauges knowledge of definitions.

Off-camera computer testing.

If that doesn't have the fingers on the pulse of excitement, nothing does.
