As a complete beginner, there is a huge gap between bundle install, getting my first test green and then getting into a rhythm around using tests as an educational tool if this repo is to be used stand alone.

Once learned, that rhythm is a powerful aid to a student.

Is there a way to add the steps for this rhythm into the root level README or maybe the strings README so that the student at least knows what commands to run?

Ditto to Mike's comment... it took quite a bit of research to get the first spec.rb file to run, but was able to determine the correct commands and was ultimately able to move forward with completing the exercises.

I'd like to suggest as a solution adding this to the readme to structure the practice: https://josh.works/turing-backend-prep-01-intro
