PhotoRead the English -Chinese Chinese - English dictionary.
Purpose. I would like to improve my English (why? Perhaps to read or write it better or perhaps to understand it better that part is up to you.)

PhotoRead it daily for a month and see what happens when you have English assignments.

Activation comes when you do the rest of the studies. The grammar exercises, the classroom lessons and so on.

You said photoread the grammar book daily for a month.

Is it daily?

(a) purpose, preview, photoreading?
(b) purpose, preview, photoreading, activation?
(c) purpose, photoreading?

I'm also interested in what you meant Alex.

It's difficult to keep straight when using "PhotoRead"

Thanks,

Jonathan Cisco

Just the Prepare and PhotoRead step.

Preview is already done. Once you become a proficient PhotoReader you naturally integrate Prepare and Preview in a fluid motion like picking up a book opening it up and reading. The prepare is part of your decision to read and so is purpose. Prepare and preview you will naturally do the very first time the book comes into your hands (or on the computer) so when you decide to PhotoRead. The prepare (purpose and ideal state) is already done and you just photoread.

Prepare and PhotoRead. There is little need to preview a dictionary. You've probably opened it before and know for sure that it is a dictionary.

2) No need as suck. Use the dictionary as you would normally. Looking up information. I'd just guess whether I know the answer before looking.
