Akeelah ha solo 11 anni ma si mostra da subito una precoce studentessa. Il dono della parola le consentirà di farsi strada in gare di spelling, e diventare, nonostante le obiezioni della madre, una campionessa del 'National Spelling Bee', la tradizionale competizione che vede gli studenti di tutte le scuole americane impegnati a sfidarsi nel fare lo 'spelling' di parole difficili.
