As I am new to photoreading, I want to make sure I understand all of the steps to get them right. Since I do not yet know how to photoread, I have been taking some extra time reading each step in the photoreading book.
Right now the only question I have is about the review step within the preview stage. I understand surveying and I understand getting the trigger words. But the book doesn’t really explain how to review (albeit I only have the 3rd edition). It talks about assessing what we’ve gained from surveying and trigger words but it doesn’t tell us anything else.
It says when reviewing to avoid getting into text too deeply too soon. It also says to resist the urge to stop previewing and start reading for details. So, are we supposed to be skimming or reading during the review stage? If not, why does it caution us about reading too deeply or reading for details?
I assume there was something additional involved because we pull about 20-25 trigger words for a book, yet beginner photoreaders take about 5-8 minutes to review. What are we doing during those 5-8 minutes?
It sounds a lot like supereading and of course postviewing is similar except for the formation of questions. Can anyone tell me exactly how to review during the preview stage? The book is lacking in this section.
Thanks
Jeremy
