For Parents

Nurturing a Confident Communicator

The MaRRS Bee is more than a contest; it's a self-paced journey. Your role is to transform "study time" into "discovery time."

🏆

Emphasize the Process

Focus on the "lexical development"—how many new words they understand, not just how many they can spell.

⏱️

Self-Paced Learning

Let your child lead. This builds the self-confidence necessary to reach their full potential.

🎮

Gamify the Practice

Use word games at home to maintain their rapt attention.

🌉

The "Bridge" Mindset

Every word learned is a "bridge to a better world."

For Teachers

Expanding the Horizon

MISB acts as a powerful supplemental tool that picks up where the school curriculum ends.

Beyond the Textbook

Use MISB to teach "supplementary language skills" that aren't usually covered in standard lesson plans.

Foster Healthy Competition

Create a classroom environment where students "interact, experience, and learn" together.

Focus on Comprehension

Integrate spoken and written rounds into your verbal and written exercises.
