as quickly as you can. Ready? Begin
Fine, lets try the next part.
B
Example: This one is similar, except that it has both numbers and letters. Begin at
number 1, and draw a line from 1 to A. Then from A to 2, from 2 to B, from B to 3, 3
to C (point to the numbers and letters), and so on, alternately in correct sequence,
until you reach the end. So your task is to go from number to letter to number to
letter and so on, in order. Ready? Begin
Backside: On this page there are numbers and letters again. Do this the same way,
going from number 1, and draw a line from 1 to A. Then from A to 2, from 2 to B,
from B to 3, 3 to C (point to the numbers and letters), and so on, in correct
sequence, until you reach the end. Remember, you have to alternate between
numbers and letters. Draw the lines as quickly as you can. Ready? Begin
NB: When the patient makes a mistake, Point it out, help him correct it, and
proceed. Some patients work very neatly and therefore slowly, remind them that you
only measure speed and not the way they draw. The pencil may be taken off the
paper.
