Kade Strong may only be in Year 4 but he would not put a letter out of place if asked to spell any of those difficult words - some of the hardest he knows.
The Tamworth Public School student will represent the local area against the best of the best at the state spelling bee. Kade won the regional competition by correctly spelling "manuscript".
"My mum was really happy too, and my dad," he said.

He is the only student representing the area and will go head-to-head with the winners from the 59 other regions across the state.
The Premier's NSW Junior State Spelling Bee will be held in Sydney in November.
