The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool. The purpose of the group is to promote the use of Gregg systems of shorthand by providing advice to beginners, support for students, and an association of users of this efficient, attractive, and enjoyable method of writing.
I am looking ahead at my copy of Gregg Speed Building for Colleges Simplified and would like to know exactly what the plan was for each type of exercize. Does anyone have the teacher’s handbook of this? Was there a teacher’s handbook for the second edition?

When I was taking shorthand in college, Speed Building was the 4th semester. We did the same thing with Speed Building as we did with the other books. We read each lesson, then copied them twice for our homework. In class we worked on building up our speed by taking dictation from the teacher. Then, we would spend 1-2 hours in shorthand lab, taking dictation from the tapes. I took Diamond Jubilee, but I am sure it was pretty much the same for Simplified.
I do have a copy of the teacher's manual, but I'm out of town right now. Let me see what I can do.
For which edition of the speed building simplified for colleges book are you interested in the teacher's handbook, the first or the second?
I have a copy of both editions but i would prefer the second one. Thanks for following up with this and for your answer to my question about which book to go to next!
No problem. Glad to help!
I have a copy of each but i would prefer the second.
No problem. Let me see what I can do. Be aware that the key for the shorthand is not in the Teacher's manual of the second edition — it is a separate book.
