The benefit comes in the activation. That's where you get your reading done three times faster than traditional reading.
I've had some unusual experiences with PhotoReading. Many which I shared back in 2002 - 2003.
Three months or so after I learned PhotoReading and did indeed discover I can get my reading done in 1/3 to 1/10 the time I began to wonder if the PhotoReading step itself was a placebo. The universe came to my aid and set me a challenge. It's on the forums but to save searching I'll tell the story again.
A friend of mine was studying for his high school certificate (year 11 for any Aussies.) He had an assignment and like a good student left it till Sunday to start and to have it to hand in on Monday.
He scanned the assignment sheet for me and asked me if I could help him. I read the assignment and my brain rain screaming out the door. No way I thought.It had something to do with business studies. I was lucky I had a dinner to go to so I said to him tell you what I do. My friend left some books on business I'll find one and PhotoRead it and we'll work on the assignment when I get back.
I went to dinner selected one book and PhotoRead it. Put it down next to me with the intention of activating it when my friend started working on the assignment. He was busy with another one also due on Monday. So I waited PhotoRead the book 8pm and midnight he says. Phew just finished that assignment. I asked what about the other one. He said I'm going to forfeit It's too late to start. now. So he asked me what I was up to I said just surfing the web waiting to till you were ready to start the assignment.
Next he asked so how would you approach it. I told him. he asked a question I gave answers, I explained reasoning told him to consider insurance for this hypothetical business as it can make or break whether it works. In 45 minutes he had the 1000 word essay.. I never opened that book. Following morning I thought where did all that insurance stuff come from? Found the book and opened it to the page with the insurance information. As important and as correctly explained as in the book.
I don't think I would have noticed except the dramatic way my mind responded to the question before I PhotoRead the book and then when asked the question again after I PhotoRead the book (he got 70% on the assignment he lost the 30% because he didn't follow the correct formatting of the essay. )
The other experience was doing a course. I finished the assignment 10 days early in a six week intensive course and I did spend a lot of time just doodling about. When it came to doing the assignment the information just flowed. More interesting stuff happened.
I'm always reluctant to share my experiences because of the yeah right but Alex works for Learning Strategies .
I came across PhotoReading by accident. What hooked me was the idea of reading 3 books in the time I could read one. I did the course and it worked. I came to the forum and found people needed help so I helped where I could.
Someone on the forum said Alex why don't you become an instructor. So I did. In 2004 Learning Strategies asked me to look after some email accounts for them and become the moderator of the forum.
I live in Australia. I am now self employed (where I was unemployed when I first learned PhotoReading) I'm a Certified PhotoReading instructor who holds classes in Australia.
Unfortunately I cannot give you PhotoReading but with patience I can teach you PhotoReading. I've had people come to my class not sure about this PhotoReading stuff and leave going wow, what's next.
