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.
