Words of Wisdom: Keys to Success in the Scripps National Spelling Bee is a very valuable book in preparing for the Scripps National Spelling Bee and other spelling bees such as the South Asian Spelling Bee, NSF Spelling Bees, etc. This book covers all the major language patterns of languages like Latin, Greek, and French to more esoteric languages like Amharic, Tibetan, and Avestan. Words of Wisdom also includes various word lists and exercises to absorb and complete before any of your major spelling bees. This book is a boon to all spellers, and I would definitely recommend Words of Wisdom to anyone serious about spelling.
