By the age of 13 the child has 80% of their reading vocabulary. Is is helpful when it comes to PhotoReading. I don't recommend it for children just starting to learn to read, if they are interested then don't hold them back. The youngest taught in a seminar is 9 years old.
We do need to learn elementary reading. PhotoReading is the next step that they should teach when you enter high school.
If your 11 year old likes to read and has a habit of reading. Go for it. If she is a reluctant reader or still struggling with word recognition, don't force her it can put her off reading altogether.
