26, 2016  \nSCRIPPS NATIONAL SPELLING BEE INTEGRATES KINDLE TECHNOLOGY INTO DEVELOPMENT OF STUDY MATERIALS  \nSchool enrollment now open for 2016-2017  \nCINCINNATI—The thousands of schools that enroll in the Scripps National Spelling Bee this year will unlock a new level of learning, giving teachers and students clear paths to make connections between spelling, vocabulary and reading. For the 2016-2017 program, the Scripps National Spelling Bee is fully integrating book titles and technology from its presenting sponsor, Kindle, into the creation of the school-level study lists to be distributed to the nearly 11 million participating students. Study materials include hundreds of words selected exclusively from books available on Kindle e-readers.  \nThese study materials equip teachers to easily combine lessons in spelling, vocabulary and reading. Students can build their vocabulary and reading skills while gaining helpful context about the spelling words as they appear in the books. Reading the books that include study list words is not a requirement of the Bee program, but it certainly can be an added benefit.  \n“The Scripps National Spelling Bee and Kindle both recognize the synergy of reading and spelling,” said Paige Kimble, executive director of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.“Now, our study materials guide students to fiction and nonfiction titles that include the words they need to know to advance in their local spelling bee program. Students can see the words come to life and have a more meaningful learning experience through the power of great books. This is an unprecedented development by the Scripps National Spelling Bee and it reflects the cohesive relationship we share with Kindle.”  \nThe study list includes both spelling words and book titles for grade levels 1–8 including popular books like “Nate the Great” by Marjorie Weinman Sharma for first grade,“Matilda” by Roald Dahl for fifth grade and “The Terrifying Tales” by Edgar Allan Poe for eighth grade. The complete list of books is available to schools that enroll in the Scripps National Spelling Bee program.  \n“Our mission is to enable and inspire a passion for reading at any age and we believe that great spellers come from great readers,” said Arthur van Rest, director, Kindle E-Readers.“With these reading lists, students will be able to see study list words in context, leading to better comprehension. With features like Word Wise, Vocabulary Builder and Dictionary Lookups, Kindle e-readers give students the confidence and tools to take on more challenging books.”  \nAll Kindle e-readers are purpose-built for reading and feature displays that are easy to read with no glare, even in bright sunlight, have battery life that is measured in weeks rather than hours, and are lightweight and easy to hold and read on for hours. All Kindle e-readers come equipped with the  \nfollowing tools to provide an improved reading experience that leads to greater comprehension, a stronger vocabulary and a better, uninterrupted reading experience:  \nVocabulary Builder—Compiles words readers look up in the dictionary into an easy-to-access list from words readers explore through the dictionary option. Readers can use these lists to quiz themselves with flashcards and instantly see words in context until they have mastered them.  \nWord Wise—Short and simple definitions automatically appear above difficult words to help readers take on more challenging books. The reader can adjust the level of help needed. Every source book used to create the Scripps National Spelling Bee school spelling bee study list is enabled with Word Wise.  \nKindle FreeTime—With Kindle FreeTime, kids can read books in a simple, fun and safe environment designed specifically for them. Kids are rewarded with achievement badges when they reach their reading milestones, and a progress report keeps parents updated on total time spent reading, number of words looked up, badges earned and books read.  \nEnrollment i","cbCairllPpaDW1nA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairllPpaDW1nA","pdf",148334,"English","# Enrollment and program overview\n## Study materials and grade-level book titles\n## Reading-support features on Kindle\n## Enrollment process, access, and fees\n## Sponsorship costs and locations","[{\"question\":\"What does the 2016-2017 program integrate into the study materials?\",\"answer\":\"The program fully integrates book titles and Kindle technology into the creation of school-level study lists for teachers and students.\"},{\"question\":\"What learning areas do the study materials support?\",\"answer\":\"The study materials are designed to connect spelling, vocabulary, and reading so students can build skills with the words in meaningful book context.\"},{\"question\":\"Which Kindle features are highlighted for improving the reading experience?\",\"answer\":\"The document highlights Word Wise, Vocabulary Builder, and Dictionary Lookups, and also describes Kindle FreeTime for a safe, kid-focused reading environment.\"}]","SCRIPPS NATIONAL SPELLING BEE INTEGRATES KINDLE TECHNOLOGY INTO DEVELOPMENT OF STUDY MATERIALS - School Enrollment Now Open for 2016-2017 | PDF",1790608188]
