Over the course of his academic career, as a devoted Scholar, Walton has passionately researched the positive effects of Spelling instruction which is proven to significantly enhance a child's ability to read. Fittingly, Melanin Spelling Bee King's is a book effectively designed to significantly enhance a student's word decoding ability, which is the foundational skill to reading, and improving their sight recognition. In addition, the book's material assists students with developing the necessary skills needed to master the alphabetic code. Suitably, this book is precisely designed to efficiently increase both the spelling and reading ability of young boys born into the African diaspora. In this empowering book, black youth readers are asked to spell and read useful words for all grade levels K-12. Moreover, children who begin to spell and read words at an early age are very likely to attain educational success throughout the duration of their life course. Additionally, by integrating a combination of selected vocabulary words for an in-book "Spelling Bee", along with short sentences using powerful adjectives, Walton aims to teach young Black Kings the importance of spelling, and how it simultaneously benefits their reading competency. Furthermore, Melanin Spelling Bee King's has various inspiring and educational elements that will progressively shape the mind, self-esteem, and overall cognitive behavior of young black readers. Thus, Walton's chief concern is to prevent young boys born into the African diaspora from encountering avoidable educational setbacks pertaining to their social and intellectual development.
