The Global Spellathon Championships take place from Monday 05 - Sunday 11 March 2012.  You can play the online games from MENCAP as many times as you like to practice for the global Spellathon Championships, with amazing prizes to be won. While practising, players ask family and friends to sponsor them for a targeted amount of words they pledge to spell correctly. Funds raised will make a real difference to the lives of people with a learning disability and help Mencap challenge prejudice in our society.

Schools receive 25% of the funds their students raise. Help MENCAP improve the spelling and literacy skills of UK’s children and adults whilst supporting a deserving cause.

Schools can register now for their free resources pack and a video invite from Stephen Fry at www.spellathon.net
