It was raining words in the Kavarana household in Novi in the US state of Michigan early this year. Two sisters, Farah and Ferzeen, were eating, living and breathing words as they prepared to take part in the Oakland Schools Scripps Regional Spelling Bee on February 29. Both had qualified for this county round after winning the Spelling Bees of their respective schools. Farah is an eighth grader at Geisler Middle School while Ferzeen is in fifth grade at Hickory Woods Elementary. They were among 82 students who competed.
