Researchers have found that statistically, there is a direct positive relationship between students' shoe sizes and their results on spelling tests and spelling bees. (That is, students with larger shoe sizes tend to do better.)

Can you explain this correlation?

Umm, students who are older tend to do better at spelling bees... and older students also tend to have larger feet than younger students.
