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 don’t think this will help you, but I’ve found that if I just push myself to keep reading eventually the inner monologue goes away and I just start to absorb the words. Everyone is different however.
