Home-schooled first-grader Akash Vukoti of San Angelo, age 6, is the youngest contestant, competing against more than 280 spellers for the title of 2016 Scripps National Spelling Bee Champion.

Things are going well so far for Akash, who spent Tuesday being interviewed by the media and went to a news conference with top Scripps representatives, said Krishna Vukoti, Akash's father.

Akash also was chosen to film a commercial to promote the Spelling Bee and was able to interview four other spellers, which will be posted on social media, Krishna Vukoti said.
