Judging by today’s texting teenagers and their OMG “language,” you might think English is obsolete. But we know at least 60 middle-schoolers who can spell words that’d fill a Twitter screen, and when they get together on stage, it’s like a rock concert of literacy. This upbeat, community-wide celebration of language, education, family, and hard work is like a good reality show: incredibly intense, immensely fun—and free. The student who outlasts and outspells heads to Washington, D.C., for the annual Scripps National Spelling Bee. Presented by Umpqua Bank and Town Hall Seattle
