S-p-e-l-l-i-n-g  b-e-e. Recently, I volunteered at the spelling bee at my son’s elementary school.

I read words to participating students of the bee. Those words ranged from “again” to “remember” to “basketball” and the most challenging word for students, “reservoir.”

Every student who participated received a Merriam-Webster dictionary.

As a writer, I love words and it’s exciting to see the next generation love words too!
