Photoreading Techniques

Photoreading is a fairly easy technique to understand:

You read a book as fast as you can flip the pages.

It’s whether your conscious mind believes that you can photoread that’s more difficult!

The best technique is to just decide that you’ll give photoreading a try-out. Go into it with an open mind and see whether or not you get results. From my experience, I think that you will.

Start photoreading by preparing yourself: go over the description on the back cover of the book and see whether it’s talking about a subject you want (or need) to read. If it isn’t, then why were you thinking about reading it?

Then skim the chapter headings to prepare yourself for what is in the book. Just an overview will do fine.

After that, you need to get yourself relaxed. A few deep breaths will do fine for this.

Photoreading involves you using “soft focus”, so whilst you will be reading the book, your focus will be further away. The technique for this is a bit similar to the magic 3D pictures that were all the rage a few years ago. If you’re not sure, then the photoreading book by Paul Scheele, which you can find on Amazon, will give you a good description.

Once you’re ready, you start to flick through the pages at the rate of about 1 page per second. You need to keep your soft focus whilst you are doing this but it doesn’t matter if you turn over a couple of pages by mistake. The important part is to keep the rhythm and concentration going.

When you’ve finished the book, you may decide to go backwards through it. This step is optional but can be worthwhile as it will help your brain to absorb the information.

That’s it! You’ve just photoread a book. You can learn more about photoreading from the course I’ve reviewed on my website.
