Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer verify something about Rapid Reading

i dont have my book at the moment,
but rapid reading is just regular reading that u do at the end right?

Do u search for the trigger words mostly throught the first pass?

thanks in advance

Rapid reading is regular reading REAL fast... kinda like speed reading... Kinda.

I try to link my ideas by researching my trigger words in the text.

Flow, do you have a SN or chatting name?

Think of rapid reading as "mopping up." It's a lot like regular reading, only you control the speed. I imagine my eyes are like a UPC scanner, going across the words. The ideal "line" for scanning is 75% up. The book is sort of confusing when they say to look at the "top" of the letters... it makes it look as if you're NOT supposed to look at the bottom. I would hate to think that because I can see an entire letter and not just the top, that I'm doing something wrong. The technique is explained in the book, and I think on the tapes somewhere as well. I really didn't "get" it until I checked out "Double Your Reading Speed in 10 minutes." It's simple, (it's a 10 minute tape), but it has profound applications.

Sometimes, I think speed-reading instructors WANT us to think it's too hard. I don't know why, considering you can double your reading speed in 10 minutes and learn PhotoReading in two days.
