Steno Drills 101 is a practical drill workbook for court reporting students, computerized machine shorthand students, speedbuilding students, and steno writers who want focused practice on the kinds of errors that commonly show up on dictation tests.

Written by court reporting instructor Lois Schoenbeck, this workbook was created after tracking the recurring error patterns students made during dictation testing. The result is a targeted collection of drills designed to help students build cleaner writing habits, reduce hesitation, and strengthen accuracy in the areas where mistakes often happen most.

This is a useful practice resource for students who need more than general dictation practice. Instead of simply writing more material, Steno Drills 101 helps students focus on specific problem areas such as briefs, phrases, contractions, word endings, alphabet drills, and numbers.
