Week III Day 4

Begin today’s reading session with the Center of Creation imagery, followed by the eye exercises for review. Patch each eye for a few minutes before leaving for the library (patching while traveling to the library can be very beneficial, too, for those not driving).

Today, you will learn how to take notes (see next page for instructions). The participants will choose longer books in the adult fiction novel section of the public library. Using the “How to Read“ instructions, flash read a whole book as fast as you can turn the pages (use the “Turning Pages“ instructions if necessary). Take a picture of each page and make a “guess” about the story as you complete the book. Write notes of the book afterward. The notes gives your left hemisphere some reality about what was taken in. Trust your intuition about the story. Since reading is a perceptual journey and everyone’s perceptual journey is different, your synopsis of the book is every bit as valid as anyone else’s perception of the book.
Remember:

Reading is fun!

Taking Notes
Taking notes is a wonderful and easy way to recall what you have read and improve your comprehension. There are many ways to take notes. For A Course in Light-Speed Reading, I recommend the linking memories method. In this method, one writes all things they remember concretely about what they read, connects them and links additional vague ideas. It is done in a free hand, free-association manner:
