No slop, no drop, no shadows, no carrying. Slow down and write perfect outlines.

Pay attention to the basics, and you will see the improvement when you do a speed drill.

Pure drills are employed by every artist, musician or athlete. Pianists, guitarists, cellists use them. Baseball players, football players, hockey players use them. Gymnasts, ice skaters, dancers use them.

Use them.

TEDLEY Upper Keys	These two drills are the easiest. When you have mastered both of them, go on to the "Combined" drills.
TEDLEY Lower Keys
TEDLEY Left Hand Combined	No vowels. Just consonants. Very good drill.
TEDLEY Upper Keys Combined	These drills are wickedly simple. Be prepared to become frustrated. Be prepared to learn which letters cause you to stumble. Do not attempt these until you have practiced Tedley Upper Keys and Tedley Lower Keys.
TEDLEY Lower Keys Combined.

This last section is for the masters of the keyboard. Do not spend much time here if you haven't mastered the easy drills. You must master the basics first.

This article is highly recommended. The drill at the end attacks one of the most common problem areas of the upper speeds. It is a short drill, but it is one of the best Anna Mae has ever produced.

There are not many authorities on the mechanics of stenography. Anna Mae is one of the best.

The Speed Teacher and Anna Mae

We are proud to include Anna Mae Tedley's Finger Drills in the Speed Teacher.

You don't have to load drills into the Speed Teacher.
We did it all for you.

Besides Anna Mae's famous drills, there are drills on prefixes, suffixes, numbers, names, dates, money, cities, countries, endings, common words, the Top 100 words, the top 1000 words, basic jury charge words, basic testimony words and much more.

And then there is The EMMAnator. It is an unusual drilling technique. Basically, you choose small words for testimony drill, and large words for literary drill. You can choose to have only small words, or only large words, or choose any range you want.

Right-Hand Letters D and Z
Anna Mae Tedley

The majority of bad strokes involve the right hand. The reason for this is simple. When you begin to stroke a word, almost invariably you begin by forming the beginning of the stroke first. This is natural and normal, and it would be kind of silly to expect otherwise. That means that when you stroke the word "word", you will think of those four letters and where they are on the keyboard, but the letter "w" is going to get just the tiniest bit more attention than the rest of the letters. That tiny microsecond of extra time will always make the left hand appear stronger and more controlled.
