This book documents the real-life story of Kendra Yoshinaga, a
young speller who won her first qualifying bee at the young age of
nine. Now only twelve years old, she prepared for her third bee and
returned to Washington, DC where she tied for 14th in the 2006
Scripps National Spelling Bee! Gail Small taught Kendra for first,
second, and third grades. Together they share a love of learning
and discovery, and the challenges of new ideas. This book describes
the spelling bee experiences from a youth's viewpoint. Young
readers can delight in the world of spelling so it becomes a
natural and exciting part of their lives. "Secrets" of a teacher,
coach, and parent reveal proven tactics to foster a confident
speller. These distinctive methods will inspire a love for spelling
and language in lessons that go far beyond everyday practice.
Launch your students on an inspiring quest for knowledge-the words
will jump off the pages as the illustrations enliven the story.
This book will help them to enjoy the wonders of spelling bees
along with the inside moments that only those at the bee have
previously experienced. A detailed spelling guide is included for
parents, coaches, and teachers of spellers at all ages.
