I have found the skittering approach useful for rapidly developing conscious awareness of the material that I have PhotoRead. Like the other parts of the PhotoReading system, it is important to maintain your sense of purpose and focus - why are you reading what you are reading? What is germane to your purpose? What material can support you in achieving your goal? Skittering allows you to activate the text by rapidly flitting over the words in the text, not being slowed to the speed of regular reading, allowing the words to form the gestalt of the paragraph's meaning in your mind. Remember, PhotoReading does not take place on the page, but in your mind - where the connections are made with the material that you have PhotoRead and the knowledge base that you already have available to you.
