I have been trying to write
the following for awhile, but
I have been unable to find
a thread where it wont get
buried.

Alex has written a concise paper
on determining the questions to ask when
PhotoReading a book. The paper is
entitled: Comprehending or activating your
reading material.

In the paper, she explains
the reasons for asking questions, and
how to find the appropriate questions
to ask in order to activate the PhotoRead
book; she discusses both the novel and
non-fiction.

Now the paper was written with
PhotoReading in mind. As I was
studying the paper, it struck me that
the paper is the best tutorial on
learning how to study that I have
ever read.

One of the dilemmas that many beginning
PhotoReaders have is that they frequently
try to learn PhotoReading in the midst of
taking courses. For most, I think, learning
to PhotoRead is like learning a sport; you aren't
going to be consistently good at it immediately.
The new PhotoReader comes to the forum and
pours his/her heart out why PhotoReading isn't working
immediately. Alex, or someone else, tries to calm
the student and explain that it might be better to
wait until later to learn PhotoReading when the
person has more time.

Alex's paper could fill the gap. Later, when the student
has more time to really learn PhotoReading, they would
have the essentials that seem to be a block to
so many of us; coming up with the appropriate
questions to ask.

Had I had Alex's paper when I was a student, I am
sure I would have had higher grades than I received.
And if there was PhotoReading then, there would
be no limit.

In a previous thread, Alex offered the paper free
to anyone who was interested.
