That’s weird, I couldn’t imagine another way of reading. How is it even possible to not subvocalize? People just somehow process words without hearing them in their head? I couldn’t even imagine what that would be like. For me, it’s like trying to picture what “nothing” looks like. I’m kinda blown away by this lol.

I love my inner monologue as it changes to the voices of the characters I’m imagining. It doesn’t slow me down at all and actually enhances the experience.

I don’t think trying to get rid of subvocalization (if it is even possible) will help you. I think you just need more practice with your comprehension skills, which should come with time.

I don’t believe “faster reader= better reader”, anyway.

Unless you’re cramming for a test or something, reading should be about enjoyment. Read at your own pace and don’t worry about it! I believe it’s like anything else, the more you do it the better you’ll get. If you keep reading regularly, you’ll naturally become faster.
