I have always hear that with PhotoReading, you can read at least 3 times faster. Is this for beginners only??

What about normal PhotoReaders?how fast can they photoread? 10 times faster OR 20 times faster? Because I heard Paul Scheele on the radio saying that he can read at the speed 250,000 words/minute?

A beginning Photo Reader can PR a book in 1/3 the time it used to 'normal read'

As you use the program and get used to it, you will be able to read 4,5,6, maybe 10x faster.

Hope this helps,

The 250,000 statistic is what most people can do when in PhotoFocus. Now, you're not "reading" per say so much as you're doing an "info dump," blasting everything into your implicit memory centers via pre-conscious processing. Now, if you're very skilled you can do spontanious activation on facts and details. However, it is "not fun" to be put under that kind of stress.

If you're doing something like direct learning, (say, three guides on backgammon, a book on strategy in general and a book on probability), where you don't actually activate the books except as a change in behavior and perception, then you're "reading" at 250,000. Otherwise, that activity which we call "reading" is a tool within the PhotoReading Whole Mind System used for very specific purposes.

Thanks!
Now I got the clear picture!

Did Paul Scheele say 25,000 or 250,000 in the radio commercial? Since page flipping slows us down to 25,000 to perhaps 50,000 (depends on size of print too). You need to Photoread on a computer to go faster than that and there it is possible to go in excess of 500,000 wpm photoreading.

Since I don't hear the radio ads here in Australia I'm now curious.

pr is a whole mind system that lets u study better. unless u have a very good mastery of self hypnosis or whatever it is u will not be able to recall anything consciously. so apart frm spontaneous activations, for academia everything will have to be studied properly. pr by incorporating many other techniques helps us in better understanding the material.

He said, on the radio, you can photoread 250,000 words per minute.

First, I thought it was unbelievable!
But now, I know that's true.
