Article: Familiarize yourself with the words that will appear in the spelling bee. Circle any words that seem difficult or any you don't recognize so you know where to focus most of your attention. Make sure you practice spelling each of the words from the list until you master them. Work on word lists made for your grade level before moving on to lists made for higher levels. Many regional and national spelling bees don't have set word lists, but you can find frequently used words through Merriam-Webster and online study sources. Find words that you find challenging and focus your time on learning them. Start with words in your grade level before studying higher-level words.  Spell It! From Merriam-Webster lists over 1,000 words that are commonly used in bees along with tips and tricks on how to remember their spelling. You can find the words here: http://myspellit.com/. Look on online flashcard websites like Quizlet for study options that other people preparing for spelling bees have made. Most online dictionaries offer an audio option where you can hear each word. Type the word into the search bar on the website and click on the small speaker icon to hear the word. This is how the announcer at the spelling bee will say the word.  Hearing the word while looking at the spelling will help you recognize how the letters are vocalized.

Pair difficult words with ones you're familiar with to give yourself a break between challenging spellings. Work until you master how to spell each word on your list for that given day.

Pretend you're standing in front of a microphone just like you would at the actual spelling bee. When your friend or parent reads off the word, ask any questions you have, such as the definition or country of origin, or have them repeat the word. Practice spelling each word aloud.  Having someone read the words for you helps prepare you for being on stage as well as work on spelling under pressure. Make sure they pronounce the words correctly when they announce the words.

Article: Even if the label on your shirt says "pre-shrunk," it would still be a good idea to wash it. This will remove any potential starch or stiffener that might prevent the paint from sticking properly. Spread some newspaper on a table, and get anything that might get ruined out of the way. It might also be a good idea to have some paper towels (for blotting) and a cup of water (for rinsing the paintbrush) handy as well. The cardboard should be about the same size as the shirt. You want it to slip inside the shirt easily without stretching it. This will prevent the paint from bleeding onto the back of the shirt. You can also use a folded up newspaper for this. Even an old magazine or catalogue will do in a pinch. If you are nervous about free-handing the design, you can always trace your design first using a stencil and a permanent marker, and then fill it in. Consider using a few paintbrushes in different shapes and sizes; a flat brush will give you some nice, crisp edges while a pointy brush is great for detail.  If you want your design to have multiple colors, such as a smiles face, do the background color first. Let the paint dry, then do the details. Try to get paint brushes meant for painting fabric. They usually have stiffer bristles made from taklon. Avoid natural brushes, such as camel hair, as they will be too soft to hold the thick paint and create nice designs. If you'd like, you can speed up the drying process by blowing the paint with a hair dryer. Do not remove the cardboard inside the shirt until the paint is completely dry. Once the paint dries, you can flip it around and paint the back as well. Keep the cardboard inside the shirt and let the paint dry. If the paint is sticking to the cardboard, don't panic. Simply wiggle your finger between the shirt and the cardboard to pry it apart. Discard the cardboard when you are done, or save it for another project.

Article: If you don't know your Wi-Fi password and the computer in question isn't connected to the Internet, Ethernet is the only way you'll be able to connect.  On a Mac, you'll most likely need to purchase an Ethernet to USB-C (or Thunderbolt 3) adapter before you can connect your Ethernet cable. If Ethernet isn't an option, you'll have to reset the router to its default settings. In order to access your router's page, you must know your router's IP address:   Windows — Open Start, click the Settings gear, click Network & Internet, click View your network properties, and view the address next to "Default gateway".  Mac — Open the Apple menu, click System Preferences, click Network, click Advanced, click the TCP/IP tab, and look for the number to the right of "Router:". Common router addresses include 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, and 192.168.2.1, as well as 10.0.0.1 for Apple routers. On some routers, the IP address is found on the sticker on the side of the router. Open your preferred browser and enter your router's IP address into the browser's address bar. You can use literally any web browser to perform this step. After entering the correct address, you may be asked for the username and password; if so, log in with your router credentials. These are typically different credentials than you use to connect to the Wi-Fi.  The default username is usually admin, and the default password is usually admin, password, or blank. Most people change these after configuring the router, however, so if you can't remember the username and password you may need to reset the router. If you didn't change the default username and password, it should be printed in the router's documentation or on the router itself. Once you are logged into the router, find the "Wireless" or "Wi-Fi" section. This can usually be accessed by clicking a tab at the top of the page or finding it in the navigation menu.  Each router page interface will vary, so you may have to navigate through a couple of different menus. Your router's password may also be at the top of the main router page. On the "Wireless" page, you will see your wireless network name (SSID) as well as the security or encryption type (e.g., WEP, WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2). Near the security options, you should see the "Passphrase" or "Password" field. This is your wireless password.
