Say It, Use It, Spell It Bee!
On April 14th and 15th the first Say it, Use it, Spell it-Bee occurred at the Yawkey Boys and Girls Club. Twenty students participated in the event, showing off their vocabulary skills. Our amazing Reading Coaches handpicked grade-appropriate words for their students in a competition that placed equal value on spelling and the use of words in sentences. This Bee, inspired by a literacy tool developed by AmeriCorps State Lead, Kim Bohling, and Reading Coach, Esther Williams, proved to be an exciting event for both students and reading coaches. The two days resulted in two winners, LaDawn Spencer and Janae Vellere. Everyone in the Bee went home with an award to show students that win or lose, if you try you can succeed. The Say it, Use it, Spell it-Bee is an event that Site Team Leader Ruth Villard hopes to continue at the Yawkey Boys and Girls Club!
