WELCOME TO THE 2018 AFRICAN SPELLING BEE CHAMPIONSHIP

The Spelling Bee concept is about the

glory of being able to overcome the

complexities of words which makes one a

Champion Speller. The overall objective of

the African Spelling Championship is to

stimulate an interest amongst learners

in learning languages and other subjects

aimed at broadening their horizons.

ABOUT ASB

The African Spelling Bee was started with

a vision of celebrating the African Child,

inspiring them to be literate and creating

a platform for them to interact, connect

and build their confidence. The future

belongs to these children, and ASB is

determined to create an opportunity for

them to flourish.
