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 took a speed reading class once, I think the first lesson was how to remove the sub-vocalization. I don’t have an inner voice anyway so I can’t tell if it actually helps but the other students seemed to buy that it made them faster.
