What is PhotoReading?

The PhotoReading whole mind system is a 5-step approach to reading that includes a technique called PhotoReading. By using your mind and applying the 5 steps of the PhotoReading you can get your reading done in one-third the time. Even as a beginner. PhotoReading only takes a few hours to learn. You'll be able finish your reading in one-third the time with the same or better understanding.

What is Preparing?

The first step of the PhotoReading system is to prepare by stating a clear purpose and getting into an ideal state of mind for reading.

Too many of us read as if our minds only had one gear. Before we start to read, we should be aware of what we want to find out. It also helps if you have entered a state of mind that switches on the whole mind-you will be able to do that with the amazing Tangerine Technique!

At first it will take you ten minutes to do this step, but within a very short time you'll be able to prepare in just a few seconds.

What is Previewing?

Then preview the materials so that your brain learns how to sort the information that will soon be absorbed by PhotoReading.

The military teaches "Time spent in reconnaissance is seldom wasted." It holds true in reading. Using our special preview techniques, your mind lays down a mental grid onto which the data you PhotoRead flows.

This will take two to five minutes depending on the materials. You can spend more time, but resist. We'll tell you amazing reasons when you learn PhotoReading (it has to do with short cuts based on How the Mind Works).

What is PhotoReading?

This is the biggest step, the actual PhotoReading step, where your brain absorbs information right off the page.

PhotoReading literally teaches you to look at a book differently, because we teach you a unique way to diverge your eyes. This is one of the secrets to enable your whole mind to absorb information as you flip through your reading material.

Now, how cool is that!? You'll go through the whole material at one page per second, using your brain in a way you probably haven't done ever in your life with conscious control.

This step takes three to five minutes for the average book.

What is Postviewing?

With PhotoReading, you blast through pages so quickly that your conscious mind cannot possibly keep up. As a result, when you've finished PhotoReading a book, you will have little conscious knowledge. Enter the fourth step: postviewing.

Here you approach the book the same way a librarian would: turn over 5-10 pages at a time to get an understanding of the structure, to gather keywords and thus get your mind full of juice questions you want to get answered. This really builds your anticipation and focus.

This step takes five to fifteen minutes ... as long as it takes for you to get a feeling for the structure of the book, before you continue to the fifth step...

What is Activating?

Various activation techniques help you process and understand information so that you know it consciously and can use it on a day-to-day basis. One of these techniques is called super reading. It is similar to speed reading, but the results are far superior.

As a beginner you will be able to activate a book in one-third the time it would have taken you to read it regularly.

You're not reading three times faster, because you will actually go through the material multiple times using different techniques. Learning comes best in layers, so you learn to activate material one piece at a time.

Is it tough? Not once you know our step-by-step process!

While some of the techniques, like Rapid Reading, come close to regular reading, the level of comprehension it facilitates surpasses what you could ever get from regular reading. 

Other techniques like Skittering or Mind Mapping again help to involve your whole brain in the process and speed up your reading considerably.
