If you heard the word “koinonia”, would you be able to spell it? This was the strange word that Karthik Nemmani, 14, spelled correctly to win the 2018 spelling competition on May 31st. As a result, he won a prize of $40,000. The Scripps National Spelling Bee has been held in May or June every year since 1925. It is open to students around the world who are less than 15 years old and have not yet finished eighth grade. Competitors have to correctly spell English words to win the competition. The words are usually quite hard to spell because they are either uncommon or have many letters. One interesting fact about the competition is that most of the winners in recent years have been Indian-Americans. Karthik Nemmani is the 19th Indian-American winner in the last 23 years. One reason for this is that Indian-American parents pay attention to their children’s education.
