Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer slow reader

Hi
I am new to Photo Reading and I have a question regarding my reading speed and comprehension now.
While doing the first trial reading selection
on page 15 in the work book, I didn't get past the first few paragraphs in 45 seconds.
When I read, I have to sound out the words in my head or I have no comprehension.
Also, I can't group more than 2 or 3 words together for the other forms of speed reading.
My field of view is great, I just have problems as I presented earlier.
I lag far behind the time limits for previewing also.
Any suggestions??

Excellent, you did the exercise. It means you have the potential to notice what a diffence the PhotoReading System makes

Make no judgements it was only to give you an idea of your starting point. Keep going with the course. Learning builds in layers and the tapes are intended to be listened to one after the other once you've noted your results, nothing more.

So what? You're learning to PhotoRead. Continue with the course you'll be shown techniques that can double your natural reading speed in no time. For the record i still like to subvocalise when I read... I do it whilst 'dipping' and a whole lot less than what I did with traditional reading.

While many will tell you it's best to not subvocalise at all whilst reading. I have found a personal benefit for subvocalising and even so I fly though the average books in 20 to 90 minutes depending on my purpose for reading

Hi Alex K.
Could you explain to me the meaning of the word subvocalise. Thanks

Sub - means below
Vocalise - means to speak or say

To subvocalise beans to speak or say the words that the person is seeing below normal level of hearing.

Alex

Thank you so much for your quick response.

Want to read
faster.
Try photgraphing three
words at a
time and you
will become a
faster reader.
Your eyes are
like a camera.
Just jump from
one group of
words to the
next. Practice
on what I
just typed here.

Thanks, it works...Guess I'll have to change my user name to slowdude+
