PSR™ Method
(Presentation Skills & Reading)
How the PSR™ Method can help you study
As I’ve said elsewhere, with the PSR™ Method, retention by the listener increases. In the same way, when you are studying, you are your own audience and absorb the information quicker.

Dear Steve,
I attended the Voice Master PSR™ Method course to qualify as a voiceover.
However, I would just like to let you know how the techniques I learnt on the PSR™ Method course
have helped me study for my Masters degree.
Through my own experience, it is assumed that reading is a given for the academic student. However, the techniques learnt on your course can improve the efficiency with which you read and can help to absorb and assimilate information more effectively in any area.

Dyslexia & the PSR™ Method
Many people attending the PSR™ Method course during
the past 15 years have told me they suffer from dyslexia. This can be a
serious disadvantage at job interviews and in written tests. Many sufferers
reported that there was a considerable improvement when they finished the
PSR™ Method. The same improvement was noticed when people stumbled
over words.
I am not suggesting that the PSR™ Method is a cure for acute dyslexia, but it certainly helps with the milder forms. Basically, when we are reading, half our brain is reading ahead as a kind of rehearsal. The other half is reading what's in front of us. Quite often people stumble over simple words. At first this was mystifying, so I decided to study it in more detail.
Part of the PSR™ Method course is to read the opening line from A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf.
This is the sentence: 'The scene, if I may ask you to follow me, was now changed.'
Many students stumble over 'if I may ask you' At first it seemed strange, until I realised that, even though these simple words had been ‘rehearsed’, they had taken them for granted because they were simple short words, so they had not concentrated on them.
If the sentence had started with an unfamiliar word like ‘sesquipedalian’, readers would have looked much closer and concentrated. One of the advantages of the PSR™ Method is that it helps people concentrate and analyse what they are reading. This is why the PSR™ Method helps children to read earlier and retain a higher percentage of the information.

The Lavender Hill Mob Drama Club Teaching students with the help of the PSR™ Method |
The PSR™ Method has helped not only
the children's reading confidence, but also the adults who attend.
We use the booklet that you gave us as a constant guideline.
Some of the parents of our 'labelled' children have commented on how their children's behaviour, both at school and at home, has improved.
