Bedtime Story
Join Alex as he prepares for the thrilling Spelling Bee in Willow Creek, filled with excitement, friendship, and the joy of words!
It was a bright morning in Willow Creek. The school was buzzing with talk of the big Spelling Bee coming soon. Alex, a bright boy with glasses, loved words. He wanted to win this year. All his friends cheered him on as he practiced words every day.
Every night, Alex's mom read him words from the dictionary. They would giggle at funny ones like 'flibbertigibbet.' Alex's favorite word was 'extraordinary.' He loved how it sounded, and he wanted to spell it perfectly during the contest.

The day of the Spelling Bee finally arrived. The gym was full of excited kids. Bright balloons hung from the ceiling. The smell of popcorn filled the air. Alex felt a mix of nerves and excitement as he took a deep breath.

The host, Mr. Thompson, called each contestant to the stage. Alex watched his friends spell tricky words, some stumbling, others shining bright. His heart raced faster with each name called, waiting for his turn to shine.

Finally, it was Alex's turn. He walked up to the microphone with a big smile. The word he was given was 'extraordinary.' He could hear his heart thumping. He closed his eyes for a moment and whispered, "I can do this!"

"Extraordinary!" he said loudly, spelling E-X-T-R-A-O-R-D-I-N-A-R-Y. The room fell silent. Did he do it right? The judges nodded and smiled. Cheers erupted, and Alex felt like a star!

As the contest went on, Alex spelled word after word. He faced 'phenomenon,' 'beautiful,' and 'encyclopedia,' each one a challenge, but he stood tall, fueled by the cheers of his friends and family.

At the end, it was down to him and another girl, Zoe. The final word was 'courageous.' Zoe spelled it first and got it right. Alex felt nervous, but he remembered all his practice. "Courageous! C-O-U-R-A-G-E-O-U-S," he spelled with confidence.

Zoe smiled and hugged him. They both had fun and learned so much. The crowd roared with applause as they both took the stage together. Winning didn’t matter much; it was the joy of spelling that they cherished now.
