I’m a slow reader. Always have been. When I read, I say every word aloud in my mind. I’ve been reading online that this “subvocalization” actually slows reading WAY down and doesn’t help with reading comprehension (once you know how to read). Is this true, and if so, how can I read without subvocalization? I’d like to become a better reader that can read books in weeks, not months. Thanks for any help!

    I think you’re putting too much thought into this. Just read the book at your own pace. Reading isn’t meant to be a race of who reads faster. Just sit down and relax with a good book. It’s that simple.
