Tape 7 is also good for going through books of your own. Once you've gone through the tapes, I'd recommend spending a week or so playing with it and then going right back into the tapes again. It's amazing how much more things come together once you've had some experience with it.
Don't second guess yourself. You're learning something new. There are no PhotoReading police who will break down your door and beat you for missing a step. I can say that now because I did the same thing to myself. Giving yourself permission to go with the flow and see what happens pays big dividends.
