According to Director of Book to Read Foundation, Emmanuel Ebo Kwabena Musey, the objective of the spelling competition was to encourage pupils to develop their spelling skills and vocabulary.
He said, he was overwhelmed by the level of intellect displayed by the pupils and encouraged them to keep up the good work.
"We are committed to ensuring that the kids develop reading habits that would help them achieve their academic dreams," he stated.
He urged the other schools to continue reading for next year's competition as they were working hard to make it better.
