To instill the habit of reading in our youngsters, which will have far-reaching implications for all other subjects and, in turn, increase the country's educational level.
As individuals progress through different stages of life, they will need to generate reports and documents. Proficiency in spelling is crucial for most professions, as is the ability to communicate, take notes, and comply with instructions.
English serves as the global language for diplomacy, foreign trade, civil aviation, and other industries. Therefore, South Sudanese individuals employ English not just for communicating with people from other nations (international engagement) but also for conversing with fellow South Sudanese (national interaction).

A spelling bee is a competition in which participants must spell words correctly.
The spelling bee concept is considered to have originated in the United States of America, and it is now held in a number of nations throughout the world, including South Sudan. Frank Neuhauser, who won the 1st National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. in 1925 at the age of eleven, was the first official spelling bee winner.
Historically, the word "bee" has been used to denote a gathering of people who are performing a certain task, such as a husking bee, a quilting bee, or an apple bee. Its origin is unknown, however, it is thought to be derived from the Old English word "bn," which means "prayer."
The word spelling bee first appeared in literature in 1850, however, an earlier name, spelling match, may be traced all the way back to 1808.
Noah Webster's spelling books were a major driving force behind the competitions. For five generations, Webster's spelling books, first published in 1786 and known popularly as "The Blue-backed Speller," were an integral part of the curriculum for all primary school children in the United States.
