(Age: 8 - 10) Recommended. The extremely popular Network Ten reality
show 'The Great Australian Spelling Bee' generated a large following
and raised the profile of Spelling and Literacy in Australia.
Remarkable young students with a great depth of knowledge about the
origin and definition of an unbelievable array of quirky, obscure
and Australian words proved their amazing ability. Network Ten and
Macquarie Dictionary Publishers have released this workbook for
spellers in the Middle Primary years.
The spelling bee image buzzes across the pages, introducing a
variety of enjoyable activities including finding a word, shrinking
words, 'what am I' definitions and synonym staircase.
This workbook starts with all about me which asks the child to enter
their favourite book, languages spoken and favourite word. The
activities are straightforward, easy to complete and each begins
with a clear set of instructions. A great holiday activity book,
there's something there to challenge the young spellers of
Australia.
