Bonnie Kittel's book also has an accompanying audiocassette, reading the 
exercises and then 
chanting three or four [I forget which] _perashot_ on the flip side.  Her 
text has some non-
standard [or are they? just because my first two years of Hebrew didn't have 
'em <VBG>] ways of 
designating various morphological changes, but you get the upshot anyway.

This is not to play down Mansoor as a text, I used it my first time through 
and it was great.  
As I recall, though, it doesn't cover any of the binyanim except the Qal, at 
least in the 
introductory volume, and this will hog-tie you a bit in trying to read 
unaltered text.
