I just got to read your responses and wanted to thank you very much!
I probably wasn't very clear in my description of what I was actually doing when I am doing the alternate PR and actual read. So let me describe it again and see if there is any thoughts on this.
Technique:
1) I photoread (PR) two pages (which I can do now effortlessly any time I want). it is two pages because each page opposes the other just like in a regular book.
2) I then *immediately* - without! flipping through the entire book - super read (speed read) and dip at those same two pages. It allows me to do both - photoread to build neurological networks and at the same time (!) activate the content to a conscious understanding. Thus, it feels not like I have just seen a few pages while PRing, but actually soaking in the information through PR and then consciously allowing it to stream into an understanding.
So this is more acurate. Tell me what you think. I like using this technique and I want to know if others have tried it and seen any immediate benefits! What do you think?!
