Practice Sessions

Participants that have not been in the Spelling Bee before, are invited to attend a drop-in practice session run by volunteers with the Barrie Literacy Council Spelling Bee. The practice sessions are intended only to familiarize participants with the format the Barrie Literacy Council Spelling Bee will follow. New participants are encouraged to attend one practice session. It is not necessary to remain at the practice session for the entire afternoon as various practice rounds will be offered.

Practice sessions will take place January 16 and 17, 2010 between 1 and 3 pm.

Centre Court at the Kozlov Shopping Centre
