Spellbound

I found the DVD of this documentary in the children section of the library. We really liked it. It's wonderful to see different expressions of ecstasy, surprise, confusion, or relief in the face of the children after they (mis)spelled their words. We also enjoyed watching the parents interact with their chidren during preparations and after the competition.

The six and four years old also really enjoyed the movie. Incidentally I just bought a children dictionary for them last week, so they followed along with all the spellings.
