Learner,

No, I don't mean that you need to be using books on tape to have success with photoreading. I just happened to have some lecture programs on tape that also have everything that is said on the tape in a booklet that comes with the program.

I photoread the booklet and then listened to the program to activate the material. The way the activation occurred, was that at the beginning of some of the tapes, I felt as the though I had "heard" it before, but I had only photoread the material.

There are many ways to activate the material, from just relaxing and forgetting about what you have photoread for a while, to direct learning activation - photoreading books on a sport and then simply continuing to do the sport to activate what you photoread.

I recall a story from Pete Bissonette who said that he photoread some physics books and then, while he was watching a football game on tv, it spontaneously activated and he saw a 3D representation of the information floating in front of his eyes. So, it can activate in many ways and you just have to stay with it and play with it.
