Speedreading - myth vs reality? your thoughts.
phr: I think there is some truth in the advice to avoid sub-vocalizing.  It seems to improve my reading speed, but does take an effort.  The other day I was reading something that included a word I have some trouble pronouncing (sorry, don't remember what it was now).  I noticed I was pausing over that word every time I encountered it, trying to solve the puzzle of how to pronounce it.  When I made an effort to stop that, I sped up my reading quite a bit.
