Drilling the Letter Pairs from Top to Bottom is the second book in the series. Here, we're going to shift gears from Book 1 in order to get you out of your head and into your body. All of the books in the series contain drills, which must be spoken out loud. But, this audiobook has almost no lecture material. After one chapter with a short explanation, review, and instructions on how to use the drills, the rest of the course is made up entirely of sound, letter, and word drills.

The value of the course is in listening and repeating the sounds, letters, and words you hear out loud. If we were to compare this method to learning a musical instrument, the drills are the practice time or the time playing “on your instrument” - the instrument being your body, specifically your listening and your speaking.

The drills move quite quickly. Pace yourself, and get ready to start listening and repeating. By the way, if you've just come from book 1, welcome back! If you want, you can skip the chapter on letter groups and go right to the drilling in Chapter 3. Or, stick around if you think a quick review might be helpful. And, if you’re new to the course, welcome and thank you for joining us! Okay, let’s get right into this.

About the Series

The books and corresponding audiobooks is this series (Understanding Fast Spelling in Spoken English) cover the exact same material. Although it's possible to work with the audio or even the text alone, most learners will find it useful to work with both the audio and text of any particular book, usually at the same time.
