Another is dedicated to the supportive families that have helped the contestants succeed.
The campaign's overarching focus is a shared love of reading that's meant to promote Amazon's Kindle e-reader device.
"We wanted to make sure they focused on the kids," Neil Lindsay, Amazon's vice president of devices told Mashablein an email.
"We frankly wanted to shed light on just how difficult this competition is and what it takes to be a champion – these are not easy words, and it’s impressive to watch a 6-year-old accurately and enthusiastically spell out loud a word you’ve likely never even heard before."
The semi-finalists, some of whom will already be eliminated by the time the ads air, are among the top 285 of the 11 million students across the country who participate in the yearly competition. The 45 winners from that group will go on to vie for a $40,000 cash purse in Thursday night's final, televised on ESPN.
