Wow I first heard of photoreading more than a decade ago.
Over time I learned more about it.
Then I rented the book from my library.
Then I bought the course a few years ago.

And wow, I am now becoming adept at photoreading all these years later!
Probably the biggest thing to help me has been vision training.

With computers that now have ebooks and smartphones and tablets, the most difficult thing is clicking tapping or scrolling.

I now break down things in seconds, minutes, hours, days and months and years
I plan one page per second to absorb
And a little more time to scan for important stuff or to mentally sub vocalize

I want to get to the point of like athletic photoreading
Where I can see a page per second and pull info out of it too
Or to go even faster and still comprehend
So I think advancing my vision training will help with that too

Thank you learning strategies!!!

Yeah scrolling just doesn't work. Change the scroll button to a page advance a page at a time. Much neater page jumps than the default 3 lines. And the page jumps match the screen size.

Hi Extrasolar9,

Thank you so much for your successful learning story sharing.

I am a photo reader at very beginning stage.

Could you kindly share how you train your vision ability to improve photo reading?

And what are the tips you think to pull the info you want/need out of the book in a higher reading speed, at the same time, still get a higher comprehension on the info?

Your experience sharing will benefit thousands of young photo readers.

Thank you and regards,
Jeff

Don't stress the training vision part. You have the skills already just soften your gaze. If you like to see if you can keep the blip page play with magic eye images. I found when you print about 12 out (in black and white is fine if you want to save ink) then play with those 3 or 4 times in the day. See how quickly you can bring them into focus. After 2 or three days you'll notice it's easier to retain the blip page. And if it does disappear bring it back faster and in a more relaxed manner.
