Photo Reading

Some where a long time ago there was a discussion about Photo reading. I found intersting and always wanted to learn it. I can't find the old post so I just started another.

What brought this to mind was a recent post in Senseless banter from Clairity

I think this may run along the same lines.

Olny srmat poelpe can raed tihs.

Cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

Here is one of many sites about photo reading;
Photo reading

This is an interesting topic, and i hope it gets more replies!

I'm a naturally fast reader, when i can actually get the time to sit down and read! And i do take it all in, and remember it. My boyfriend thinks it's fascinating, he's like 'how do you do that?'
I think i put it down to learning to read late, and then when i did learn to read, i think i just picked up everything i could get my hands on!

Hmmm I do have dyslectia, but I could read those mix up words.

And I really must be trying that reading-superfast stuff. It sounds really cool. And unlike with that uberman-sleep-cycle it can't hurt you.

I heard about this courses and things, mostly from secretarys(guess its their line of work :-P ). I have always been an avid reader, so I read and understand it fine and fast, may be because I read allot since I'm a kid, I've got my own reading tachnics or what not to sumerize things when doing studies, so I can't really say much on this photo reading, If its faster than I read then I'd say I'd give it a try, but I'd have to compare it with someone who photo reads to actually see how it is. Interesting though, If I could read a book a day then I'd say woweeeeee :-P

Seems interesting enough. I am already a very fast reader as well ( lol only the fast readers are responding to this post) Usually I can finish a page when most people are only in the middle of a second paragraph. My mom taught me how to read when I was young, and she reads just as fast as I do. I remember a few months ago I gave her and article to read and she read it so fast that I was surprised. I had totally forgot she was a fast reader. I asked her "your done already?' and she replied "ha-ha, Jonathan, who do you think taught YOU to read fast :P"

ya im fast reading too. cant rember who taught me to read definalty not my parents though. hehe now this can make me even more of a fast reader but cant learn it if u have to like BUY something :(

I don't think it would be a method you would want to pick up for a novel. More so like articles or text that you need to be tested on or just to have general knowledge.

Haaaaaa! I just thought of the dudes name UMJ! I will do a search. :D

Personally I think some of what he says is .....Well you can form your own opinion. :)

I have no idea how that guys name came to me. Just popped in my head.

interesting. i could read it about two thirds as fast as i normally do.

i am a fairly quick reader as well ;)

actually, with the amount i read, i really should look into one of those speed-reading books/courses. i saw an infomercial on tv once where some dude was a speedreading machine.
i could actually finish one of the 15 odd books that are presently sitting partially read by my bed :shakehead2:

oh, and UMJ' s thread was funny. - "In anycase, you are completely right about the great results parts. I hope I have expired you.."

hehe, yup, mr. 180 IQ, you've certainly expired me..

way to remember his username howetzer- :o

Lmao! I was just wondering If anyone else noticed that typo when I came back to see your post....Lol.

But, As they said, It oes sound pretty cool, And I read really fast. Like in school, We'll start reading a Story or sometihng and I will read on my own and let them read aloud and finish WAY earlier. So, yeah, Im fine without it.

I might have been the one who made a post about Photo Reading some time ago. I was practicing the method for some while. It's a very subtle thing, and honestly probably don't work for a lot of people, a lot of it is a faith concept. But it's backed with somewhat convincing references to neurological association and subconscious whatnot. But it's basically a kind of mixing in between subconscious and conscious processing of written or typed text. It's related to dreaming in the sense that it feeds info into the mind through different channels that may indeed influence dreams in a profound way.
