Spontaneous activation comes from asking the right question and noticing what the mind answers.

What you PRed you've gone too fast for the conscious mind to process. So the inner mind gives it to the conscious mind on the basis of what you want to know. If you want to know the entire story in a flash your conscious mind says yeah right 'in your dreams maybe' you'll notice that even in your dreams stories take a while to 'play' out it isn't in a flash.

Consciously you only need to know 10% of a book to get the authors meaning... the rest is usually explaination repeated a couple of ways to help you understand. Even then the rest of the filler is in your inner mind; to help you understand.

Hi Everyone,

I have just recently come across the term photoreading.

I just have a couple of questions to start.

1. Does it really make any significant difference in reading speed? In other words does it work given an opportunity to actually practice it for a given period of time?

2. How does it differ from the various forms of speed reading?

3. Why buy the entire course if everything is given in the photoreading book?

Thanks for the replies in advance.

Photoreading makes a significant difference to the speed at which you pull out the important information from a book. You can have the same and often better comprehension of the text in 1/3 or even 1/5 the time it takes you to regular read a book.

Dana posted the answer to that question on this thread http://www.learningstrategies.com/forum/ubb/Forum8/HTML/003048.html

The course has the exercises with coaching for you to work with. It is a logical order for learning the system fast, has the books (for learning with) and material for exercises so that, when you work with the tapes once through you know you have a working grasp of photoreading. When you use the book alone you need to devise your own exercises. Also the tapes have a motivational aspect, since if you are doing the exercises as you listen you know that you only have x number of tapes to complete the course. Reading the book alone doesn't give you the assurance that you are going to get it and when you will have done enough to say that you have a working understanding of the system. Simply with the book it takes longer to learn and it's difficult to know where you are up to in learning to excel in photoreading.
