Carrying Drill #1 for the Speed Teacher

By Stephen Shastay

  1. Set the number of words at 14.
  2. Set the speed at no more than half of your normal goal speed.
  3. Select the Top 100 drill from the Common Words.  This is the easiest drill.
  4. Drill for approximately one minute.
  5. You must stroke all words before the screen changes to a new set of 14 words.
  6. If any section of the drill is stroked considerably slower than the others, lower the speed, and concentrate on keeping the fingers moving at all times.
  7. If all sections of the drill are stroked relatively the same, and if you are finishing well before each screen changes, increase the speed.
  8. You must finish all screens before the next screen appears.  If all sections of the drill are stroked relatively the same, and if you are finishing all of the screens relatively close to when the screens change, then you have found your Optimum Drilling Speed. 
  9. When you have conquered Step 8, reduce the number of words on each screen to 10 and decrease the speed by approximately one third. 
  10. Repeat Steps 5, 6, 7, and 8.  Pay particular attention to Step 6.  Your goal is to reach the original Optimum Drilling Speed that you set in Step 8.
  11. When you have again conquered Step 8, reduce the number of words on each screen to 6 and decrease the speed by approximately one third.
  12. Repeat Steps 5, 6, 7, and 8.  Pay particular attention to Step 6.  Your goal is to reach the original Optimum Drilling Speed that you set in Step 8.
  13. Repeat Steps 1 through 12; but for Step 3, you should choose increasingly harder and harder drills.  Here is a partial list to choose from.  Some of these drills will force you drop your Optimum Drilling Speed to a much lower speed.
    1. Top 100 from the Common Words
    2. Top 1000 from the Common Words
    3. Vowels from the General Section (not the Finger Drills)
    4. Essential Jury Charge from the Common Words
    5. Essential Testimony from the Common Words
    6. Three-Letter Words from the EMMAnator
    7. Four-Letter Words from the EMMAnator
  14. Follow the instructions with no deviation.  Of all the rules, Step 6 is the most important.  Step 6 is where carriers will most likely “cheat.”
