You can gain a lot from each method of learning. The book alone, the home study course and the seminar. With each you can repeat it as often as you want.
The seminar has the advantage that you are amongst people who are just learning the system with you and some that may be repeating the class to see what more they can glean from it. You learn something new from each repetition. We have the tendancy to learn only up to the point we are ready to learn... if we keep going we move to higher abilities. Being with like minded people and having an instructor guide you through the learning process and being available to answer your questions and concerns as they come up is very comforting for many students of photoreading. The process helps you see the results you are getting and pointing. With the home study course people are often hung up on the uncertainty that they got it right - usually they have but no one is there to reassure them that they are on the right track.
With the seminar you can repeat it as necessary for a modest repeat fee, connect with people who are at the same level of learning and create a learning team with people whom you got to know.
The homestudy course is ideal if you like to learn on your own at your own pace.
