Annual 4-H Spell-Well Spelling Contest Date: Saturday, February 25th, 2012 Times: 10:00 am - 3:00 pm Location: Signal Hill Mall, 1611 Broad Street, Statesville, NC 28625 Pre-Registration is REQUIRED! Click HERE for Registration form, Rules and Study Guide. Space is limited so register today. The 4-H Spelling Contest will be hosted by the Signal Hill Mall Merchant's Association. There is no fee for participation. The spelling contest is sponsored by Iredell County 4-H and the Signal Hill Mall Merchants Association. It is open to all 1st through 6th grade students. The number of participants will be limited to the first 30 children per age group to register. Pre-registration will be accepted at the 4-H office of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at 444 Bristol Drive, Statesville. If additional copies of these forms are needed, please feel free to copy as many as necessary. Please note that 1st and 2nd grade students WILL NOT PARTICIPATE AS CONTESTANTS. 1st and 2nd grade students will be given at least three rounds to go up onstage and spell their word (if time permits, we will have further rounds). They will be allowed to continue with all the spelling rounds, whether or not their spelling is correct. . This will give them the opportunity to participate and enjoy the chance to go onstage and spell, without the pressure of having to be correct to win. We use this procedure because research indicates that children this young are unable to separate the negative feelings brought on by loss from their feelings about themselves (e.g., “I lost the spelling contest, so I must be a loser.”) All of these children will receive prizes for participation.
