Spelling Bee roadshow at Kensington Ridge Primary
Now in its second year, the Spelling Bee competition is one of the events held under the auspices of Caxton to promote literacy.
The Spelling Bee roadshow, powered by Hirsch’s Homestore, recently visited Kensington Ridge Primary School, the winning school in the inaugural Spelling Bee competition.
Now in its second year, the Spelling Bee competition is one of the events held under the auspices of Caxton to promote literacy.
The event is aimed at giving future leaders an opportunity to develop their public speaking skills, improve their speech and promote unerring usage of the English language, pronunciation and spelling.
Brigitte Thyse, regional PRO for Hirsch’s Homestore, spoke about the importance of literacy and why it’s important to host and be involved in this initiative.
Chris Mcinga, Caxton Near-East branch manager, said the aim of the competition is to enhance the learning process and to expand the pupils’ horizons beyond the classroom.
Participating schools will be contacted regarding details of this year’s event soon. For more information on the Spelling Bee, contact Daniel on 011 916 5349 or e-mail him at dseleme@caxton.co.za.
