The CREST Olympiads is one of the top online Olympiad organisations. The CREST International Spell Bee 2022–23 is India’s first online spelling test for grades 1 to 8 that evaluates children on spelling, pronunciation, and understanding of the English language. Students will enhance their vocabulary, which is the cornerstone of English. The idea was developed in the United States, and it is now practised in many other nations. Only English-speaking countries hold Spell Bee competitions.
