The 90th Scripps National Spelling Bee kicks off outside of Washington DC on Wednesday. There are 285 students competing this year including 3 from Wisconsin.
Hanna Grouse is a 7th grader from K-Tech School in Kenosha.

When she was in 5th grade she came in fourth place and was one spot away from making it to nationals.

CBS 58 asked her how she prepares and tries to remember so many words.
“I study the root and rules of each languages and their meanings, Grouse said.
"There are rules for each languages."
There are 14 different types of languages and origin’s given to the students.
