The Great Australian Spelling Bee was a reality competition show that aired from 2015-2016 in Australia. The show was produced by Shine Australia and was hosted by Grant Denyer, with Chrissie Swan serving as the word pronouncer, and Josie Boyd as a mentor to the young contestants.

The premise of the show was simple: contestants aged between 8 and 13 years old competed in a series of spelling challenges to determine who would be crowned the nation's best speller. The contestants were put through a range of spelling tests, from the simple to the more obscure, as they competed for the coveted title.

Throughout the series, the contestants were put through a rigorous training program that included work on their spelling, grammar, and vocabulary skills. They were mentored by experts in these areas, including Josie Boyd, who worked with them to improve their spelling abilities and help them overcome any anxieties or fears they may have had about spelling.

The competition was broken up into several rounds, with the first round consisting of a written test. The top-scoring contestants advanced to the next round, which was the oral spelling bee. During this round, contestants were presented with a word and had to spell it out loud. If they spelled the word incorrectly, they were eliminated.

The finalists then moved on to the championship round, where they competed in a series of spelling challenges until only one speller remained. The winner was crowned the Great Australian Spelling Bee Champion and received a trophy and a cash prize.

Throughout the series, the contestants not only had to demonstrate their spelling abilities but also their ability to cope with the pressure of a competition. They had to face their fears, handle their nerves, and think quickly on their feet, all of which were important life skills that would serve them well beyond the show.

The show was highly popular with audiences in Australia, with many viewers tuning in to watch the young spellers compete. The show was praised for its positivity and for giving children a platform to showcase their talents and intelligence.

Overall, The Great Australian Spelling Bee was an engaging and inspiring reality competition show that showcased the best young spellers in the country. With its expert mentors, high-pressure challenges, and heartwarming moments, it was a show that was both entertaining and educational, appealing to viewers of all ages.

The Great Australian Spelling Bee is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (12 episodes). The series first aired on September 6, 2015.
