If this is your first time with one of our reading practice videos, 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 finish "transcribing" before the longhand appears.

Practising reading printed Teeline is vital for improving shorthand skills. As you repeatedly read the Teeline, you solidly imprint the outlines in your mind. This helps you develop greater fluency, enabling you to ultimately write better shorthand.

Refer to our Speed Tips page for other ways to increase your facility with Teeline.
