“Why do I have to learn spelling words?” This is a question most children ask during their schooling. Many children struggle with spelling words and the repetition of practicing the words over and over doesn’t seem to help. This leads many children to become frustrated and to giving up. Learning spelling words is important to a child’s future. It helps lay the basic foundation that children will need throughout their education and life. Read how ace speller Darshik made it through and achieved the title “Exemplary Child of 2019” in Little Speller at the WhizzKid Challenge!

Extra marks for good handwriting! Sounds familiar? Improving children’s penmanship, legibility, pencil grasp, and speed are all important things that need to be addressed, especially in today’s techno-literature world where children can operate computers before they can read. Beyond just exams and classwork, writing is an essential form of communication in daily life. For K Siddharth; good handwriting is his signature skill that was nurtured over time and that’s how he went on to bag the title; The Exemplary Child of 2019 in the Junior Penmanship at the WhizzKid Challenge!

 Siddharth was known by others as an outstanding student at MCC Matriculation Higher Secondary School. However his challenges with handwriting, specifically in learning cursive, understanding line concepts, and achieving speed seemed to require the need for intervention. His parents, Kamal and Manjusha brought him to MyBeeClub with a hope to enhance his handwriting and speed. His teachers were amazed to see his progress; he was a quick learner. All it took was one level, a caring instructor, some practice and there he found himself with not just better, but efficient handwriting and he gained control over his speed too! Manjusha is happy that Siddharth can now get his great ideas down on paper beautifully and going from sloppy to skilled is no normal feat.

 On bagging this win, Mrs. Revathy Bonns; Principal and Correspondent of MCC Matriculation Higher Secondary School shares “We are really proud to have MyBeeClub at our school. It boosts children’s self-confidence and makes them winners in life! We are really proud to know our children have done really well at WhizzKid Challenge and emerged winners. More than the trophies, I thank the team for the personality development they have imparted in the children.”

As Iniya rightly said, ‘You can’t judge a book by its cover’. Her story about a little boy from the book “You can win” by Shiv Kera wowed the jury. She was evaluated for her fluency, body language, confidence, grammar and excellent vocabulary. Here’s how Iniya’s Mother weaved her magic, ‘I let Iniya choose her own reading material, and I never scoff her choice. Making her time at home self-directed was one of the simplest ways to inspire her to love reading’.

On clinching the win, Muthuselvi shared her excitement stating, ‘Believe in yourself and there is nothing you cannot accomplish, Iniya is the testimony’. Yes, believe in yourself and don’t let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Persistence guarantees that results are inevitable. This holds true for Iniya and MyBeeClub Avadi as well!
