SpellingPractice automates self-paced spelling tests and practice with pre-recorded audio cues. Practice your spellings without the need of external help!
If you're looking for an application that effectively automates self-paced spelling tests and practice, SpellingPractice might just be the solution for you. This software is designed to help you master spelling by providing audible pre-recorded cues instead of boring flashcards. Here are some key features of SpellingPractice:
- Audio cues: Instead of having to read a word on a flashcard, SpellingPractice plays a recording of the spelling word in a sentence to make the learning process more engaging.
- Customizable spelling lists: With over 300 high-frequency words to choose from, SpellingPractice allows you to create spelling lists unique to each student. It also keeps track of words spelled correctly and incorrectly.
- Effective practice: SpellingPractice uses intelligent algorithms to choose the best spelling words to help you master the words you struggle with.
- Classroom tracking: SpellingPractice also allows teachers to track progress and identify trends in student learning through comprehensive reports.
In terms of installation, you'll need the Java 2 platform version 1.3.1 or higher, a microphone, and speakers. Once you have these requirements fulfilled, follow the below steps:
1. Create the directory "/usr/local/SpellingPractice"
2. Copy the files (SpellingPractice-Teacher.jar, SpellingPractice-Student.jar, doc/example/unix/spteacher.rc, doc/example/unix/spstudent.rc, doc/example/unix/spteacher.sh, and doc/example/unix/spstudent.sh) to "/usr/local/SpellingPractice"
3. Make the shell scripts executable with the following commands:
% chmod +x /usr/local/SpellingPractice/spteacher.sh
% chmod +x /usr/local/SpellingPractice/spstudent.sh
4. Uncomment the shell script line for your Java Runtime Environment in spteacher.sh and spstudent.sh, depending on whether you're using IBM's JRE or Sun's JRE. Customize parameters if desired in spteacher.rc and spstudent.rc.
5. Run the shell scripts from the command line to use the programs.
In terms of updates, the latest release of SpellingPractice includes various improvements such as clear statistics for students, UI tweaks, combined dialog boxes, added report options, and display options for statistics on both students and words. Overall, SpellingPractice is a reliable productivity tool and time-saver for both students and teachers.
