Have you seen Akeelah and the Bee? This is one of my favorite movies—funny, inspiring, and it manages to make spelling seem cool and interesting! If your kids are like most, they may not be as passionate about words as Akeelah, but this movie might just inspire a bit more enthusiasm in them. Who knows, they might even want to sign up for a local spelling bee! (And if they do, you may just want to take a look at the Phonetic Zoo spelling program to give them a boost.)
