Later this month, the best young spellers in the country will meet in Washington D.C. for the Scripps National Spelling Bee. MORE ⬇️
This year, three Arizona students will represent our state: Tazbah Spruhan of Window Rock, Karen Opoku-Appoh of Tucson and Opal Mishra of Chandler.
We hope to catch up with all three eventually, but on Wednesday Opal sat down with us as she prepares for the Super Bowl of spelling.”Like I have to study a lot,” said Mishra.For the next few days, she’s focused on learning to spell as many words as she can from the unabridged dictionary.On May 30th, she’ll be one of three students from Arizona competing in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
To qualify to spell at the top level, Opal had to win the Spelling Bee in her class, then her school, then among the top two for her regional Bee and then the state level where she came in second.You can say Opal is, I-N-T-E-L-L-I-G-I-B-E-L-E, a word that she spelled with ease.We pulled up that list of winning words and Opal seamlessly spelled tough words like chihuahua, croissant and chlorophyll.
Her advice to aspiring spellers is to ask the definition, then the country of origin of the word and one more thing... “You have to work like really hard,” she said.
