Hey guys,
I just signed up for these forums cause I had a few questions to ask other photoreaders, but I'm glad I read through this thread before I started a new thread.
First off, let me say that I love Learning Strategies Corporation and all their products, but I'm just not quite sold on Photoreading. Now I totally believe the principles behind it and everything, but my question is this:
How much of the benefit do we glean from previewing and activating, and how much is from the photoreading step? I like how we're taught to go into the proper mindset before photoreading, but I spend 20-30 minutes to preview/photoread a book, and I feel like I get almost all the benefit when I activate a book. Wouldn't it just be quicker to go and speed-read the book? Especially if it's for a school assignment where you need to remember details, literary devices, etc.
Here's something I read that sparked that question in me:
http://schooldestroyer.com/photoreading-terribly-ineffective-speed-reading/I don't care about all the cries of "Scam", I know Photoreading is a high, high value product, and that it teaches some really good stuff. What I'm wondering is if it's really efficient...
I dunno, I've only photoread 25 times or so, so I thought maybe somebody with more experience could jump in and offer their opinion.
