What is the best way to read short emails and memos? Can we just rapid read and dip or do we still need to craft a purpose regardless of text size?

Thank you.

Superread and dip or skitter is my preferred method. PhotoReading part is done in a blink anyway I often notice I have an internal reaction to what I'm reading and the search becomes what triggered that.

Thank you I appreciate it. So super reading is moving you eyes down the center of a column right?

Also, do we look at the article in photo focus mode before we super read and dip?

Superreading - down the middle, is correct.

Not necessary for half page or email, beginners take longer setting up and could just read half of it, if not all of it in the time they are trying to get into the ideal state. Remember purpose andallow yourself to superread it more than once. See it as polishing the experience muscle. Which might be slower than if you had PhotoRead it.

If it's more than a page then yes you can do a quick PhotoRead.

It still makes me wonder how super reading and dipping work when we haven't done the photoreading step for an article.

And when would we be rapid reading? Would it be for short pieces of text?

You be surprised how it works. In short text you' manage an mental snapshot without much ado.

Anything longer than a page I PhotoRead.

Like weight lifting. If you're just going to move a couple of bricks you don't prolong the warm-up. When you plan to do it for a while, you do warm-ups.

Short text is light weight. There isn't that much in it.

Hello,

In photoreading is it okay to mark or underline in the book while activating, super reading or rapid reading?

Thanks.

Paul and I don't recommend it. The highlighted words become a distraction for later activation layers. Instead mind map the key words.
