TORNEO DE ORTOGRAFÍA
The Torneo de Ortografía is a University of Texas Rio Grande Valley tradition. The college of Education has been hosting the torneo(Spelling Bee) for the past 19 years in order to provide bilingual students a venue to demonstrate their spelling abilities in their native language, Spanish. The torneo is the only free academic competition in Spanish from 2nd-12th grade students from the region, an area of about 100 miles radius. The event began in 2004 with less than 50 participants from one school district and has grown since. This year our torneo took place on April 6th, 2024 from 9:00am to 12:00pm in the College of Education.
