CINCINNATI - Today begins a month-long celebration of reading, spelling, words and vocabulary. The Scripps National Spelling Bee, presented by Kindle, kicks off National Reading Month with the launch of the Spellebrity Video Contest. The event invites students to produce a creative video that spells out how to kindle the love of reading.

CINCINNATI – The Scripps National Spelling Bee has solidified an agreement with Kindle as the presenting sponsor of the nation's largest and longest-running educational program. The sponsorship brings together two internationally recognized brands that share in the belief that reading is critically important to a child’s lifelong achievement.
