after surviving the fifth semi - final round, which shivashankar earlier called
the killer - round
in this competition and where this year 20 spellers were eliminated, she assured herself of a finalist slot and a shot at the title by breezing through by correctly spelling' escritoire.'

shivashankar, who gives seminars on spelling around the country, also stresses greek and latin roots and about 10 languages. heteaches his girls to “look beyond spelling. ” it’snot just the bees, he said, but mastering how to “lookthrough the words” that will help his daughters in theircareers - - and lives .
chand finished second last year, and shivashankar, who has finished among the top 10 for the last three years, tied for the fourth place last year, and in her fourth and final appearance this year, was a crowd favorite for the gold trophy and the cash prize of $ 35, 000, in addition to several other prizes .
shivashankar, of indian descent, speaks with an accent, whichcaused problems for kavya early in her spelling career. mirletaught his daughter the word “parabola. ” but when kavyaheard it pronounced in competition, she didn’t recognize it. dad had stressed the wrong syllable. that’s when shivashankarconcluded that the dictionary - - the bee usesmerriam - webster’s - - would have the final say in hislessons .

and, among the seven in the championship finals, were siddarth chand, 13, of beverly hills, michigan and kavya shivashankar, also 13, of olathe, kansas, both eighth grade students and each of whom were strongly tipped to capture the title and make history repeat itself and ensure a third back - to - back taking of the championship by an indian american, after sameer mishra became last year' s top speller .
despite this past year having been incredible (getting to meet and mentor so many wonderful children), we have decided to discontinue our coaching classes after the summer 2017 semester. this is due to my traveling job - i travel monday to friday every week and i have only been getting busier. vanya is also getting busier with school and her other extracurricular activities, and we find ourselves in a situation of being unable to input as much time and attention as these classes and all of our students require
- - mirle shivashankar
it sounded like a horrible idea from the network that brought us dance moms, but lifetime' s new series, child genius, had a lot of heartwarming moments. the eight - episode series, which concluded earlier this week, featured 15 kids (aged 8 - 12) and their families as they competed to win $ 100, 000 and the title of “child genius. ” more than being good television, the show revealed a lot about achievement culture in the u. s. today. in particular the winner, 12 - year - old vanya shivashankar from olathe, kansas embodies four important social / cultural factors related to american youth' s achievement .
after receiving numerous requests to coach, we are finally started the spelling coaching classes during summer of 2016. money from these coaching sessions will be donated towards a noble cause which is to be determined soon. we hope you look into this and we too are excited to see what comes .
for students to be admitted to the roster, there is a pre - requisite. once the request for coaching is received, we will be scheduling an assessment session during which we require that the student and a parent are present. this free, 30 minute session is held to assess the speller' s current level of expertise in spelling and understand their goals. the assessment will also help in aligning the students with a similar level of experience in the same group .
coaching sessions will be 45 - 90 minute group classes that are held in a virtual classroom on the weekends. specific times / lengths of these sessions will vary and are based on the studentâ€™s level of experience, which will be determined during the assessment .
this opportunity is available on a first come first served basis. as stated before, the acceptance depends on the student' s goals and commitment to spelling. this is to ensure that each student gets the most out of the sessions and can progress well in a friendly, learning environment .
there is a nominal fee for each class and it will vary based on the level and duration of the session .

aphonia - - “stage fright” to you and me - - simplyisn’t in this scripps national spelling bee finalist’svocabulary .
is she nervous about spelling on tv? “not really, ”she said, before calmly reciting her extracurricular activities (acting, singing, playing the piano) and her roles in communitytheater (enchanted crab in “the beauty and the beast; ”munchkin in “the wizard of oz”). and although vanya, a third - grader at regency placeelementary school in olathe, kan. , doesn’t head to the annualwordfest as the buzzed - about favorite to win, with a few more yearsof competition she might follow her sister as bee queen. kavyashivashankar took home $ 40, 000 in top prizes last year .
the bee can become a family tradition. twenty spellers in thisyear’s national finals had relatives (brother, sister, auntor cousin) who competed, according to corrie loeffler, projectmanager for the scripps contest .
speller 157 gabriel blacklock, for example, follows threesisters and one brother. his sister evelyn came oh - so - close towinning when she finished second in 2003 .
“in 2002, pratyush buddiga of colorado springs, colo. , wonthe national championship, and in 2004, pratyush’s brotherakshay place second, ” loeffler said. “however, no twochildren from the same family have ever both won the nationalchampionship. ”
“it’s all in the dictionary, ” he said. “first and foremost is pronunciation. ”
kavya, for instance, plans to be a neurosurgeon, a job thatentails more than a few latin words. vanya may need to understanditalian if she continues to study singing .
in english, however, both girls already have a pronouncedability. and vanya said she’s ready to go onstage and followher sister’s advice: “just focus and stay calm. do whatyou can do and do your best. ”

if ever there was any doubt that during the past few years, indian american kids have come to virtually own the annual scripps national spelling bee competition, it was erased with a vengeance on thursday morning when of the 11 championship finalists, seven or more than 60 percent were indian americans, belonging to a minority population that is less than one percent of the total us population .
the day started with 41 spellers in the semi - finals, of which 14 were indian americans, and when the fourth and final semi - final round was completed, the indian - american dominance was amply manifest with seven spellers surviving to make their bid in the finals which will be telecast at prime time by abc with tom bergeron, the host of dancing with the stars, returning to host the 82nd scripps national spelling bee .
chand, did the same, correctly slam - dunking the word' unakile.'
the other indian - american kids who advanced to the finals, were ramya auropren of san jose, california, spelling' senryu,' aishwarya eshwar pastapur of chatham, illinois, with' foundroyant,' tussah heera of las vegas, nevada, making short work of the sankrit to bengali word' talipot,' even though she did not speak either of these dialects, neetu chandak of seneca falls, new york, with' dauerlauf,' and anamika veeramni of parma heights, ohio, having no problem with' fedelini.'
felled by' nisus' in the fourth round were avvinash radhakrishnan of merrimack, new hampshire, sukanya roy of newton ransom, pennsylvania by' piqueur,' and aditya chemudupaty of pearland, texas, by' grenache.'
as the misspellers were seen dejectedly walking away from the stage when the bell rang indicating an incorrect spelling, the winner were seen walking back to their chairs giving high - fives to their compatriots as the parents and sibling either agonized or punched the air in elation .
way back in 1985, balu natarajan, today a physician specializing in sports medicine, was the first indian american to win the title, and thereafter including last year' s winner mishra, eight indian american have won the championship. among them, back - to - back title winners were nupur lala and george abraham thampy in 1999 and 2000 respectively and pratyush buddiga and sai r gunturi in 2002 and 2003 respectively. other winners were ragashree ramachandran in 1988 and anurag kashyap in 2005 .

life provides turning points of many kinds, but the most powerful of all may be character - revealing moments .
while the results are mixed when it comes to test scores, it is a stylized fact that across all age groups and subjects, girls earn better grades than boys. a meta - analysis published last year by psychological bulletin offered lots of evidence that this is a persistent finding over time and across countries. the way that lifetime' s competition show was structured, providing study materials to the children across 14 wide - ranging subjects (math, spelling, geography, memory, the human body, u. s. presidents, vocabulary, current events, zoology, astronomy and space, inventions, literature and the arts, earth science and logic), favored children who had great memories and who were willing to sit down and do the hard work of learning assigned material. for that reason it was no surprise that the final four included three girls, and a girl ultimately took the top prize .
if you watch the national spelling and geography bees every year, which i do, you already know this. and if you watch carefully you would have recognized vanya from her previous bee appearances. and, if you watch really carefully, in the fleeting shots of vanya' s whole family, you would have recognized vanya' s older sister, kavya, who won the spelling bee in 2009. in the finals of child genius vanya was not just one of three girls, but all three girls are the children of immigrant parents; vanya' s parents from india, yeji' s parents from korea, and katherine' s parents from china. the numbers don' t lie in the achievement of indian children in the bee (for a great analysis of why this is so, check out this interesting piece). the controversial amy chua / jed rubenfeld explanation of things regarding immigrants, insecurity, and self - control certainly adds another dimension to the results of child genius as well. finally, sociological work finds that immigrants to the us were often top achievers in their countries of origin, and that is also manifest in achievement by the next generation in america .
not only was vanya one of the two eldest competitors in child genius, but she was the eldest of the final four. moreover, she has previously appeared on the national stage, in the pressure cooker of the spelling bee, which gave her an advantage in managing nerves, preparing, and knowing what to expect with cameras around .
who knows what got left on the editing room floor, but the image provided of the final four' s parents was much different than that of fifth place finisher, ryan. ryan, also the child of chinese immigrants, clearly has tiger parents (despite their multiple protestations that they aren' t). his parents were highly critical of him until the end, where they still even declared that he didn' t focus as well because he is a boy and he will be fine and he shouldn' t cry (see point 1 above). the implication, and likely with much truth in it, was that the final four parents who were more supportive (though often no less strict in front of the cameras, just done with more smiles) helped their children achieve. those with more normal social lives also seemed to do better at times. vanya has a very close relationship with her father, mirle, but when she wanted space to study by herself he honored her wish, and she finished in first that week .
mirle is definitely a bit of a legend in this world of high - achieving children at this point. if vanya wins the spelling bee this year (and likely even if she doesn' t) he could almost certainly become a highly sought - after and compensated spelling coach. his knowledge of these contests, how to teach, how to access resources, etc. was in contrast to the one exception in the final four: graham .
graham is a 10 - year - old who lives in oklahoma with his three siblings. his parents, devout christians, claim they aren' t sure where graham' s sky - high iq came from, but his grandmother knows it is from
the lord .
graham and his family never expected him to make it to the end of the competition. graham didn' t have the developed study techniques of vanya, or the focus of katherine and yeji, or the resources of ryan' s family to focus on just the competition. graham' s family hopes that they can use college scholarship money he won to send him to a private school they can' t afford (i' m assuming that especially after this that school may offer some financial aid - - they should !) .
because this was a reality show and not just a straight competition like the bees, many of the kids like graham, vanya, ryan, and katherine earned their initial spots for their colorful families and compelling personalities. yeji, recognized as a quiet dark horse, performed perhaps better than expected and earned her second place finish. the competition itself seemed straightforward (despite protestations of parents at times, including graham and his family) and not based on reality tv tricks so once there merit counted most in terms of the outcome .
it will be interesting to see if the show returns and how it impacts these children moving forward—and what that will reflect about the evolving youth achievement culture in the us today. as someone who has studied and written extensively about competitive activities for kids—most significantly in my book
playing to win: raising children in a competitive culture ,
about elementary school - age children who compete in afterschool activities like chess, dance, and soccer, i expect to see more competitions like these with an academic focus even as athletics continue to be a big draw for kids and their families .
well, everybody seems agree that we gave ryan too much pressure. true and not true. shortly after finishing round one, we know there are several girls will out perform ryan. the biggest difference between ryan and those girls is that ryan has never been systematically trained, while there are several kids very well trained, probably since prek. it is like ryan fights bare hands with competitors well armed. and the worst part is, ryan is not used to spend long time study. we have to try everything we can to keep him focused for long hours. it proved to be very difficult. ryan' s daily routine after home work has always been chess, violin, swim, tennis, table tennis, chinese, and fight with his brother. we as parents do not offer any training for academic for ryan. hope some parents will understand why we were filmed that way. thanks. ryan' s father
i just wanted to say that ryan did not seem to be under more pressure than the others. his general appearance showed this, he was dressed casually and looked like a relaxed young man. i was ryan' s biggest fan, a lot can happen in editing and it was clear that the show used personalities to get more attention (as they do). i was actually googling to try and find out how our family could follow ryan' s future adventures. he was amazing in the show, i hope you are all doing well .

it is a common theme in reality tv shows that people dislike the edit they received. of course editors say they worked with what they were given and there is truth to both sides. i would love to hear what ryan thinks of the experience, now about 6 months later and after the series has aired. does he wish he had studied more ?
i love the list of activities ryan participates in each week. he is certainly getting a diverse childhood experience (though my favorite activity is fighting with his brother !). do you feel like all these activities will help him attain educational and professional success someday, or do you think it would be best to only focus on academics? do you hope he will do something like the geography bee, or math olympiad, someday soon ?
i have never seen your article until now. also i have never made any comments on media. today i feel like i can write a word. the reality of ryan' life and characteristics maybe the opposite of your impression. he maybe the happiest boy. no one really analyzes the truth from deep inside through the appearance. it is easy to be fooled! ! thanks for your attention .
