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 do both, it just depends on how I feel. So what if it’s slower reading when subvocalising? It’s fun sometimes to make voices up for different characters and act out lines in the same speed and cadence an actor would in a movie. But other times I just “switch off the volume” and burn thru pages normally.
