Finger Drills

[CRISTAL FIGUEROA]

Hello all!  I am wondering if anyone out there has a good finger-drill routine.  Thanks

Hi, Cristal.

Usually when I'm warming up, I run through the various alphabets my theory has (five of 'em), then I write my numbers as numbers from one to one hundred, then write them again as words, then I write the days of the week, pyramid style -- like so:

Sunday

Sunday Monday

Sunday Monday Tuesday (etc.)

If I make an error, I start over.

Next I do the same thing with the months of the year, and once I get to that last month, I write them all again three times, then I begin taking months away until there's only January left.

After that, I write the fifty states.

After that, I will either do Fast Track or the Speed Teacher ... and then I'm ready to work!

Thank you for your advice.  Sorry it took so long to say so.  Just got back into the site today.  I appreciate your taking the time to help.

You're welcome, Cristal!

My apologies for the lateness of my reply as well.  I found a link to this discussion on my page, so I decided to visit the link to see what I was talking about!  :o)

Hi Glen,

I've been doing what you suggested everyday for about a week now.  I've added my years and times (one stokers) as well! I love it.

Thank you!

You're welcome, Marissa!  Good to hear!

Might be a good idea to work a few of your tougher briefs/phrases into the rotation as well; have to conquer them *SOMEHOW!*
