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 would start fallowing along to some audiobooks while reading the physical. I swear it helps turn off the inner voice that is thinking about other things and will push your eyes through the words faster, its great to because you can speed up the audio book and really get through it quicker. There’s nothing wrong with being a slow reader and never give up. the more you do it the more seasoned you become and then in a few years you’ll look back and see the progress.
