I used to be a visualizer. At around the age of 8-12 I could imagine a movie in my mind as I read. Once I read an entire 500 page book, one which was relatively high level for and 8 year old, in a single day. Unfortunantly, I don’t to do that anymore despite being an older, more experienced reader. I slowly push the pages and subvocalize. it takes me a few weeks to read 500 pages. I don’t know what changed my mindset. It’s a lot less satisfying to read this way. Does anyone have tips about how to active a mental movie while reading?
I got better glasses and I realized that I was just blind and not disinterested in reading. I didn’t realize how bad my eyesight got, it was so bad that I could really focus on reading and it irritated me. I thought I had ADD or something. Nah, my eyes just rapidly declined in 6-12months. Now I read just fine.
