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!

    There should never be a rush to read. Allow every single one of your sub-vocalizations to flourish while reading anything. You want the fullest and most genuine relation/dialogue to text/art.
