A Tradition 90 Years in the Making. The first national spelling bee was organized by the Louisville Courier-Journal in 1925, and the Bee has been held continuously since, except during the World War II years of 1943, 1944 and 1945.
Spelling is important because it aids in reading. It helps cement the connection that is shared between sounds and letters. Learning high frequency sight words also has been shown to help with both reading and writing. This is why students learn sight words during their early years.
