Depending on what sort of spelling bee you're participating in, you will have different routes to acquiring your word list. Some spelling bees will have word lists associated with them. Most all spelling bees will have grade appropriate word lists. If you are participating in a contest that has a list attached to it, contact the organizers for the word list. The Scripps Spelling Bee, for example, makes grade appropriate word lists available to teachers at participating schools. If your competition has no official list, consult educators or the contest's organizers for a recommendation of grade level appropriate lists. If your competition has no official or recommended lists, compile your own grade appropriate list. Consider Merriam-Webster's Spell It! at http://myspellit.com to help build your list. Organizing your list will help you locate words, identify similarities between types of words, and save time. There are several ways you can organize your list. Group words alphabetically. This will help you locate words more easily. Group words by theme or part of speech. For instance, you can group nouns together like "teacher," "beagle" and "flower." You can then use pictures or stories to associate the words in each list. Group words by suffix. The suffix "-OUS" often sounds just like the suffix "-OSE," so it can be challenging to remember which word ends with which suffix. Try to group "OUS" and "OSE" separately. This will help you to distinguish the difference. You've got your list and you've organized it, but you're probably already familiar with a good number of those words. Try to identify which words are most challenging. This way, you'll have somewhere to begin, and you won't waste time on words you already know. You can do this several ways: Read through your list, checking ones you are confident about, and marking ones you might struggle with. You might notice themes about what sort of words you miss. Take a couple pre-tests using your organized word list. Have a friend or family member help you with this by randomly selecting words and running through them quickly. Remember, this is just a diagnostic to see what sort of words challenge you. You don't have to get them all right, and you don't have to spend two full minutes spelling them. Make sure to still incorporate words you are more comfortable with into your rotation a couple of times. Just don't focus on them as much as other, more challenging, words.

One-sentence summary -- Get your word list. Organize your list. Figure out what you don't know.

Q: Washing your hair actually dries it out, so if you can avoid it for a few days, do so (why the ponytail was invented, really). When you shower, throw your hair up and put it in a cap to keep it out of your way. Just because you don't wash your hair doesn't mean you're not showering! Everyone has different needs. Some of us will need to wash every two days, some of us once a week. Just take a look at your roots: If they're oily, wash 'em. If not, bask in the extra time you have to get ready in the morning! If you feel like you must do something to your hair when you shower, on days you don't wash just rinse and condition. You want shampoo that's not too heavy and sulfate-free. If they have added oils for nourishment, that's good, too. And it should be good for color-treated hair, of course! Concentrate the shampoo on the roots and the conditioner on the ends. Conditioner is generally more oily -- you want nourished ends, not greasy roots. Decide what products will work the best for your needs while minimizing damage. Bleach lightens your hair by removing color and causes damage by raising the hair cuticle, which allows hair to tangle easily. This is why conditioning becomes important. Semi-permanent or temporary dyes don't contain bleach so they can't lighten your natural hair color but are easier to apply and less damaging. Since they only last about 6 weeks they need to be applied more often, and doing it too often can also end up damaging your hair. Permanent dyes last much longer but the ingredients necessary (oxidizers and ammonia) are more damaging to your hair. Ammonia-free dyes replace the ammonia of permanent dyes with a less damaging compound. However, if you use too much of this product it can still damage your hair in a similar way as permanent dyes. Heated tools will only further dry and damage your hair. It'll be a sacrifice, but it can be done. Ponytails, headbands -- that frizz can be hidden. Think of it as a short-term solution for a long-term problem. So ditch the iron and go au natural a few days a week. You should see improvements in a few weeks' time unless your hair is seriously damaged. If you're in a tight spot, try turning the heat down on your curling iron or straightener and avoid styling the same hair more than once so it can rest. It's not as good as not using it, but it's better than nothing. For most, 6-8 weeks is ideal if you're experiencing damage issues. Since the tips of hair seem to take the most damage from the hair dye, this is the best way to solve the problem. And for most of us, our hair doesn't grow beyond a certain point -- getting a trim will help rejuvenate it. Every day, eat a balanced diet. You know why the crash, fad and starvation dieters don't have good hair? Because you really are what you eat. If your body doesn't have enough nutrients to go around, it's certainly not going to give any to your hair! So make sure you get your protein, zinc, iron, and all your vitamins and minerals. Your hair, skin, and nails will look better for it. Drinking lots of water helps, too. Just as apple cider vinegar can cleanse your tresses, water cleanses your entire body. The more hydrated you are, the healthier you are as a whole.
A: Don't wash your hair every day. When you do wash your hair, use a good shampoo and conditioner. Consider what kind of dye you use. Refrain from using heated styling tools whenever possible. Get your hair trimmed regularly. Eat for healthy hair.
