Every year, tens of thousands of students around the country compete in Spelling Bees. So how does the novice speller hone his or her craft at home? By spelling constantly, at breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Each of the warm, inspirational and aspirational notes in Lunchbox Words features a Scripps National Spelling Bee-selected early spelling word used in context and accompanied by its definition and pronunciation, a quick and easy spelling lesson, and an illustrated joke or quote. These mini-lessons are bite-sized and easily sharable ? perfect for tucking in a book bag, lunchbox, or coat pocket whenever your speller is on the go.

Industry Reviews

"Suitable for both emergent readers and future bee contestants . . . What sets this primer apart from other vocabulary resources is that adults are encouraged to write notes using the new term for their young readers, which they can slip easily into a lunchbox or pocket. This book reinforces the notion that learning should be a family activity and encourages adults to model the concepts that they hope their children will learn." --Booklist
