As before, each slide is presented for fifteen seconds, starting with the Teeline shorthand and then the longhand.

Work on improving your sight reading ability so that you do not have to pause. However, if you feel you will need to:

‍Grab your stopwatch (or use the one on your phone).

1. You'll want to record how much time it takes for you to read through it cold the first time.
2. Then do it again and see if you can beat the previous time.
3. And finally, repeat for a third time.

You should find each successive pass shaves seconds off the clock and by the third pass, you'll have substantially improved. This is not mere child's play. Reading printed Teeline is critical to developing greater facility with shorthand. Each time you go through this type of exercise, you are firmly imprinting the outlines into your mind. In this manner, reading Teeline will help you to ultimately write better Teeline.
