# sightwords

Simple browser-based HTML5 sightword, reading, and typing tutor for my daughter's Raspberry Pi.

## Running

Run `run.sh` or put the `etc/sightwords.desktop` shortcut in `~/Desktop`.

## Adding Content

1. Make a folder `public/puzzles`.

2. Make folders named after sightwords like `public/puzzles/and`.

3. Make an `index.txt` in each sightword folder with content like the following.

    ```

    The dog and cat play.

    Mom and I go to the store.

    Darth Vader and Pinky Pie have fun.

    ```

4. For each line number (0-indexed) in the `index.txt` add an associated image and narration to the sightword folder.

    ```

    0.mp3   # picture of a dog and cat playing

    0.jpg   # someone reading the sentence

    1.ogg   # picture of Mom and daughter

    1.png   # someone reading the sentence

    2.jpg   # it's amazing what you can find on imgur

    2.mp3   # it's hard to keep a straight face while reading this

    # and so on

    ```

## TODOs

* Metrics

* Say the letters she types

* Say the sightword when she gets it right

* Give some kind of spoken reinforcement

* Speak hints about where the keys are on the US Keyboard

* Tie it to Dropbox or whatever for other folks

* Unterrible-ify the code
