That is definitely different than what I have been doing. Although I usually plan to get through a whole book in 20/30 mins, I rarely do. I usally keep reading for 45-60 mins because it "isn't that much longer" when it really is.
I started resorting to longer layers and fewer of them, and thought I was getting somewhere, but I'm glad you both pointed out that it is important to pace yourself and finish the book in 20 mins.
Before I started doing longer layers, I would do layers a bit faster, but would get frustrated by the little comprehension.
So I thought I was improving by getting more comprehension in each layer, but now I just realized through this post that I was slowing down - not getting more comprehension (in the same time).
Which leaves me to my next problem: practicing the system enough to where it becomes natural for me to use it. I think this has been the hardest part for me. I feel like I have a good grasp on many the system methods, but have yet to truly implement it into my life.
I plan to read a lot over the next couple of weeks, but I am getting nervous because school is approaching again (year 2). While I used some form of PRing at school last year, I know I can be more successful with it and use it more properly.
I guess there aren't many new questions in this post, just a search for understanding: how can I make this system real to me? I hear these stories about people who come back from the seminar changed and really into photoreading, but I have not had that particular reaction after learning through the home system. (tapes)
Although this might sound slightly negative, I'm actually very positive about the system and truly believe it will work for me. I have just had trouble implementing it - and don't know if a last push to practice the system frequently before school will work.
I think if I make reading a higher priority over the next month, I will succeed - it's just enjoyable to hear from other people who photoread on this forum.
