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!
Am I the only one who reads something like this and then suddenly gets all awkward trying to decide if you read like this normally or are just doing it because of power of suggestion?
Just me?
Either way…if you “hear” the voices when you read that’s fine. If you don’t that’s also fine. If you paint vivid mental pictures that’s fine. If you picture nothing at all that’s also fine.
It’s reading…enjoy it (or learn from it, or whatever).
