The annual spelling competition organised by learning disability charity Mencap is now live online. Schools are invited to sign up for Spellathon where pupils can compete against their peers, other classes and schools across the UK.
A cash prize of £10,000, donated by the event’s online partner Digital Giving Ltd, is up for grabs for the school raising the most money per pupil.
Spellathon offers a range of interactive games which include more than 10,000 words on which children can be tested. The games feature animated bees voiced by Stephen Fry and actress Jodie Whittaker. The site also includes resources for teachers to help improve their pupils’ spelling ability.
