Hi Vincent.
How are you? Good i hope.
It has been shared many times on this forum in the past about not trying to learn photoreading on school material and school books. Do a search on learning photoreading on textbooks & i am sure you will probably find plenty of information.
Why not learn photoreading on textbooks and schoolbooks? First of all you are putting yourself under a lot of pressure. You are learning a subject in school & then trying to learn photoreading at the same time. How do you know if you are not having a problem learning the subject or if you are having a problem learning photoreading? This can lead to a lot of stress. You have a lot riding on school mainly your future. This is not the time to try new learning systems.
I have 2 very important suggestions for you.
1. Photoread all your schoolbooks. In fact repeatly photoread your textbooks.
2. Study the way you did before you ever heard of photoreading. Forget about activation. Just do 2 things photoread & then just regular read & study the way you always used to before learning photoreading.
I am curious Vincent i read your post before about wanting spontaneous activation. Why did you want that. For one thing spontaneous activation can be hit and miss. There are no guarantees with spontaneous activation.If you have something extremely important such as your schoolwork manual activation is much more dependable and consistent and why were you trying to avoid manual activation? Why were you putting something as important as schoolwork on sometime like spontaneous activation that does not always occur. Having said that you should not even do manual activation. You are going about it all the wrong way. Let me tell you the right way to go about it.
The right way to go about it as i have said earlier is to just only photoread your schoolbooks regular read them and study them. School is just too important to be trying experiments with photoreading on school materials. So photoread only your schoolbooks, regular read and study them. Now find a book that has absolutely nothing to do with school. Find a book that you are interested in say for example a book about a hobby or a self help book. Photoread that book and activate that book. Do that with about 14 different books. Books that have absolutely nothing to do with school. Books that do not have anything riding on it. Activate those books superread and dip, skittering, mind-maps mind-probing questions, trigger words. Do not put pressure on yourself i must hurry and learn to activate quickly so i can use these techniques in school. No forget about doing that. Just photoread your schoolbooks study them the regular way or the way you have always studied them before and read them the way you have read them before. Here is a fact for you to consider there are many students who know nothing about photoreading or have even heard of it but they study and they read and they do the work and they are successful.
Speaking of work it seems like there are a lot of people who do not want to work who want to avoid work and are just plain lazy. But we know you are not like that Vincent right? You are willing to do the work, to pay the price to make the sacrifices, to do whatever is necessary because in the long run in the future the sacrifices you make now will payoff in the future.
Sometimes it seems like many people are looking for a gimmick so they can avoid studying. Put it in a microwave. Zap! Done in 30 seconds. I do not have to put forth any effort. I do not have to study just photoread and i should be able to pass all my classes and tests in school with no effort. Kinda of like a person who is overweight,obese or fat who wants to continue eating fat-laden foods, never exercises and just wants to take a pill to lose weight without making changes in their diet and not exercising.
Too many people are looking for some miracle cure so they do not have expend any effort but that is not photoreading. What photoreading will do is get you through a book 3 times faster than it currently takes you with regular reading.
Again i do not recommend you as a beginner try to learn photoreading on school material. I think there is a strong possibility you were having trouble activating because you did not have a purpose.
