Breakthrough method to learn how to read with speed |
|
| |
PhotoReading is a breakthrough method to learn how to read with speed and it is based on the ability of the right hemisphere of the brain to "mentally photograph" the pages of a book.
Some people, just by slightly flicking through a book they are able to grasp and understand everything the book is telling.
Standing in this line, a famous Japanese baseball player said once that he could train and succeed to watch a ball motionless while actually being flying towards him.
There’s even a TV programme in Japan where a Japanese PhotoReading teacher –who had never ever played baseball before– shows and proves the skills you can learn and achieve with this reading method.
