Now, I have very bad vision, uncorrected, so take my advice with that in mind.
I let the text blur to the point where it looks like something else - almost like another alphabet. It's easier to get if you hold the book upside-down. I call them "word glyphs."
It's OK if the text is in focus, but it's not nessesary. Either way, you're using your periphrial vision, because that is the type of vision that always makes sense out of fuzzy things - or rather sends fuzzy things to your preconcious processor to make sense out of. You have a lifetime of seeing fuzzy things and making sense out of them at an other-than-conscious level. PhotoReading applies this to writtian material, but you already have the root skills. It's like dancing, rather than rollerskating. You can't skate without skates, but you can dance without any special footgear - unless you're talking about tap dancing or balet or clogging.... ok, bad metaphor. I'm going to bed now.
