Don Clayton, our 2012 Celebrity Spelling Bee champion, is back, and we have his testimony!

He admits that “affidavit” is the word that sends him reaching for spell-check. We appreciate his honesty, but on the Bee stage, he’ll have to swear by his spelling skills! 😀

Will the evidence spell victory as he competes for King Bee at Read To Succeed’s 20th Annual Celebrity Spelling Bee?

Join us for the Battle of the Bees....where the true winner is literacy!

To him, literacy is fundamentally a level-changing pursuit, and that belief may just be part of his winning spark!

Will he claim the title of King Bee? Join us for the Battle of the Bees, where the true winner is literacy! ❤

Meet our first returning champion—the OG who started it all!

Dr. Catherine Stephens, our very first Celebrity Spelling Bee winner in 2007, is returning for Read To Succeed’s 20th Annual Celebrity Spelling Bee!

This retired school superintendent might even be able to take the crown in Italian! 🇮With 1,072 consecutive days on Duolingo studying Italian, she put those skills to good use on her recent trip to Italy. Brava!

Will our original champion become this year’s Queen Bee? Join us for the Battle of the Bees and find out—because the true winner is literacy! 📚💛
