A Scrabble competition at UMBC on Saturday, February 4, featured students from surrounding schools and adult scrabble enthusiasts.
Linda Oliva, an assistant professor of education and competitive Scrabble player, helped to organize the competition. She has worked with schools, including Arbutus Middle School, to develop Scrabble clubs where students can learn the game. “Kids really love this game. It’s a game where you can become a lot better very quickly. And they enjoy learning new words and making great plays,” she said.
The story, “Scrabble helps students sharpen their skills,” appeared in the Catonsville Times on February 6.
