Spelling Bee Practice - A site to help you prepare for spelling bees at a CCSS-CA (California's Common Core State Standards) 4th to 6th grade level.

Appearance (looks will differ depending on screen size, but the middle panel will always look the same/similar):

Core Features (as updates come, more features will obviously be added, but these are the core features):

• Multiple difficulty modes including easy (7 or less letters), hard (more than 7 letters), and practice (frequently incorrect words).
• Auto-grading
• Button to manually add words to practice mode.
• A clear cache button to reset all progress.
• Ability to get the word spoken slower, the word in a sentence, the word's meaning, and obviously the word itself (using built-in text-to-speech)
• Shortcuts: Press the enter key as a shortcut for checking and the shift key as a shortcut for going to the next word.

Offline Use:

Note: you can't simply open the index.html file as on many Operating Systems, the built-in Text-to-Speech for your browser won't work locally. Instead, you'll need to set up a local server, the simplest way being using Python (instructions below).

• Initial Step: You need to have Python installed (you can get it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/), make sure to get the latest version. To check if you have python installed enter "python3 --version" or "python --version" into your terminal.
• Install the latest release of the software.
• Open up the folder in your terminal directory. (Use the cd command, for example, if the file is stored in a folder called "Bee" which is stored in another folder called "Desktop", the command would be "cd Desktop/Bee".)
• Once you are in the correct directory, enter the command "python3 -m http.server". If this doesn't work, you can try "python -m http.server". If neither works, ensure you have python installed and working. Once again, to check if you have python working enter "python3 --version" or "python --version" into your terminal.
• Now go to http://localhost:8000/. If it doesn't work, go here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwhG7rar2gU) or here (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41810407/localhost8000-resolves-to-localhost-and-this-site-cant-be-reached-but-localh) for potential solutions. If this doesn't solve your problems, just search up your error message on Google.
• You are all done!
