About the Competition

Our story

The Read Alex Spelling Bee was launched three years ago to promote reading, improve spelling skills, and encourage a love for literacy among children in Alexandra.

Since its beginning, the competition has grown every year and continues to bring together schools, teachers, parents, and learners to celebrate education.

Our goal is to help children build confidence, improve their vocabulary, and develop strong communication skills while making learning enjoyable.
