Frequently Asked Questions

PhotoReading Australia

How hard is it to learn?

Learning is the easy part. Your instructor will have the hard part. Much of what you learned about reading was to help you to get started at reading. There were some rules that were intended to help you "learn" to read. Once you did that they stopped teaching you how to read. So all your rules about reading belong in primary school. To advance through the later years a different approach is required. You were never taught that, so now the adult reader has rules about reading that don't fit the level of reading they do.

You already know how to read. Now it's time to learn to use the natural ability of your brain to take your reading to the next level. That means letting go of some of the rules you learned in primary school. PhotoReading has been around for 20 years and thousands of people have already learned... 

I've got exams next week. How long does it take to learn?

You can learn PhotoReading in a weekend. If you desperately need to catch up four weeks or are so far behind with your reading so only a miracle can save you then you probably need more time even with PhotoReading. Fear blocks learning, if you're afraid of failing that test then you will have difficulty learning PhotoReading.  With an open mind and a sense of play you can use PhotoReading in the week before the exam once you have learned it.

I can teach you how to PhotoRead in a weekend. And you can be applying it to your texts the following Monday.

Will I lose my my ability to read as I've always done?

I have books I don't want to read fast. . Will I still be able to do that?

PhotoReading uses the skills you already have and gives you the choice how you want to approach your reading. So if you want to sit back for a couple of hours to read a book at leisure you'll be able to do that. At the same time, you can get all your other reading done at a much faster, leaving you more time to enjoy your leisure reading. PhotoRead it is a power tools to your reading tool box. One that you will enjoy using most.

Will I have to use special CDs every time I read?

You won't need software of special CDs to turn on your already capable mind. You will be given the resources to let you review and integrate what you have learned. However you won't need any special tools or wires. Just open your morning newspaper and start using what you learned straight away. Check your email with the same techniques and notice how fast you have your reading done.

I need to understand what I read in detail. How good will my comprehension be?

You'll be taught how to get the information you need with a level of understanding that suits your needs. So your comprehension will be as good as or even better than what you get with traditional reading.

And I'll have the skills to get my reading done in one third the time?

Absolutely.
