The verb berätta is constructed with the preposition för. In English you ’tell somebody about something’, in Swedish you ’tell [about] something for somebody’.

Thank you; had I just missed that so far in the sentences with this verb (completely possible!), or is it an optional addition?

Just curious if spelling bees are popular for grade schoolers. I usually mistype föräldrar at least once, like förlädrar.

No, not at all. :)
Maybe it helps to think of förälder as "fore-elder"? That's essentially its etymology anyway.
