American Lung Association Spelling Challenge

SuperSpellers is a fun, easy-to-administer class project that has helped thousands of elementary school students over the past 26 years:


 * Become better spellers
 * Learn about lung health through a special program provided by a local American Lung Association representative
 * Help children develop a spirit of giving by raising money for lung disease research and education

The program encourages students to get sponsors for each word they spell correctly on the spelling challenge. For example, family members and friends might pledge a dime for every words spelled correctly. If the student gets 80 words correct, a sponsor who pledged a dime would donate $8. Flat pledges are also welcome and easy for the students to collect.

With SuperSpeller test results in hand, students return to their sponsors, collect the pledges and turn them in to the teacher or another assigned individual.

An American Lung Association representative visits your school at the completion of the program to distribute prizes and present an educational program on asthma, lung health and tobacco prevention.
