Speed of reading is not my goal either. Comprehension and integrating information is. Recall is. Remembering names and minute details is (I'm totally terrible at names). How fast I can race through a page or book is of no interest.
I'm doing this program to help prove to my college sons that the system will work for them in their massive college programs also - teaching science, marine engineering masters, and law school. (I am a returning student as well.)
And using the WHOLE system is what works - not just photoreading and activation. So many people want to just do a little bit of the system and expect miracles. It's the whole program - to be able to find desired material in a text and retain more of what is read. Do all the steps until they become second nature - and see what happens!!

BTW - This "system" is not for pleasure reading, unless you want to photoread the book first just to get a feeling for it. I'm doing that with Lord of the Rings. Now as I read it pretty much word for word (but finding that I am reading just a bit quicker than what I used to for pleasure reading - which is interesting) it is not at all tedious. I want to read this before seeing the movie! Then after the 19th I'll work on the other two volumes!!
