Dana,

You have repeated over and over for beginner's to PhotoRead 5-10 books each day for a month or two to get the hang of the process and make it second nature to us. I understand this to be PhotoReading without concious activation except for 1 or 2 books each week.

My question is do you mean for us to go through steps 1, 2, and 3 of the 5-step process for 5-10 books every day? (Prepare, Preview, PhotoRead) for all the books? Or just PhotoRead them (step 3 only) so we get used to flipping the pages and soft gazing, etc.. To go through steps 1-3 for 10 books in a day would take hours and hours?

Thanks!

You are partially correct.

What you are referring to are my posts about "mastering the basics" after you learn how to do the PhotoReading system correctly. Here's how:

1. Find 5-7 books on topics you are interested in, but have not read yet.

2. Do all 5 steps of PhotoReading on each book, one at a time. This need not be done in one day. But, you can Prepare/Preview/PhotoRead as many books as you want to each day. You'll benefit even if you don't have a chance to go back and manually activate.

3. When you get to steps 4 & 5, activate each book in 30-minute sessions, until the whole book "gels" and you have full comprehension.

To increase the chances for "spontaneous activation" do this:

1. Do steps 1,2,3, Prepare/Preview/PhotoRead 7-10 books each week for one month.

2. Then, go back and do steps 4,5, Activate/Rapid Read a couple of those books each week.

Activation is all about building conscious comprehension, from "whole-to-parts."

As a beginning PhotoReader, you will get through and comprehend your reading material 3 times faster than it takes you right now with regular-reading. And, as you continue using it, the more proficient you'll become. Also, it works on all material.
