Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Beginner. Speed read and super read after PR

Hi,

1) for novels or study books it is recommanded to speed read (after activates).
For now i only read at 180WPM words by word and i subvocalize. If a speed my reading i have problems to understand what i read.
If i want that the PR method will work i must learn speed reading first, stop subvocalized and increase my speed at least to 400WPM, no ? So i must study traditionnal speed learning method like Howard Berg's method, no ?
2) I saw the blip page but all the text is blurred (even in the blip page), is it normal ?
3) I think i must'nt use this blip page technique for speed reading and super reading only for PR, no ?
Because all the words are blurred and i can't read them.

Welcome to the PhotoReading forum!!

Speed Reading and Photoreading or reading beyond sub-vocalization are two very different things.

The books cover many ideas and techniques. You can read threads where the moderator gives advice and that will answer how to proceed.

I have taken the 'break out of sub-vocalization' path. So my advice is along that line.

Kind Regards,

I don't subvocalized with PR because i don't see the words !,
Somebody to response to my 3 questions, please ?

Ok, since you are here to learn new reading skills; read the forum threads in detail and answers will flow like a great river from the highest mountain.

Hello Plancton.

1. Yes you can speed read after you activate it is actully included in activation as you can activate by alot of methods such as, rapid reading (close to speed reading), super read and dipping , skittering , mind mapping and mind probing.
You can speed read the unimportant stuff, things that don't catch your Attention, and dip (slow read or read at a pace where you fully understand material)the material that catches your attention which apears to you as important.

If you are photoreading text books for exams for example it is a bit difficult to activate and it will take a longer time in order to reach a good understanding for the subject since everything might be on a question so you must rephotoread it and reactivate until you're satisfied and confident enough that you grapsed all the information.

Yes you can learn a speed reading course and gain benefit from it, you will also find videos in youtube that explains speed reading to give you an idea how it is like.

2.That is normal, when you see the blip page it is bound to happen it will improve later but I believe it will stay blurry, you must however notice all corners of the pages and notice spaces between paragraphs.

3.Yes the blip page technique is only for photoreading, for speed reading you would go a line at a time(reading words in groups).
For photoreading you take a photograph of an entire page in a second or so.

Hope this helps sorry for the wall of text.

Thank you for the responses

I've read here that it is preferable to use rapid reading with novels instead super reading to enjoy the book or to use rapid reading after super reading if very detailed information are needed.

Are you agree, as Abdo said, it is benefit to learn speed reading first, no ?

No response ?

No... In fact speed readers have a harder time learning PhotoReading. learn PhotoReading first. If you want to develop your speed activate more books using Superreading and dipping.
