Spellathon
Spellathon
is a spelling test of environmental
terms and issues, developed for
children at English medium schools.
The main aim is to increase children's
awareness regarding environmental
issues. Using high quality colourful
information brochures, provided
as part of the program, they can
have fun while improving their
spelling and gaining a greater
knowledge of the environment.
Children make a small donation
to participate and receive special
prizes according to their score
on the quiz.
Since 1966, Spellathon has become
a popular learning experience
for many students from around
Pakistan, helping to increase:
Awareness
Children learn about key environmental
issues and the need for conservation.
Understanding
As students progress to a higher
level each year their understanding
of conservation issues increases
and they become more inclined to
support environmental causes later
in life.
Education
Language skills, including comprehension
and vocabulary are improved.
WWF-P is currently seeking sponsorship
to fund an extension of this type
of activity to Urdu medium schools.
