I realized reading this that I sub vocalize, I never know that. I've been trying to work on it, but I've done it for over 40 years. I am going to get some speed reading software. I think that will help.

Thanks for posting my video Dean. I’m glad you liked it. My book “Learn to Speed Read” came out at the beginning of the month. It’s a six-week course, and goes through a series of techniques to lessen the habit of sub-vocalizing.

You can read and download it for Free on GoogleBooks or Scribd, and the paperback version is available through Amazon or through my website. I also have new videos under my profile: krismadden789. Like “Read Faster by holding your breath”. So if you’re not a fan of saying 1-2-3-4, you might try one of those out.

Thanks again, and enjoy the rest of my work.

Here is another technique that is related to using a pointer and subvocalizing This technique helps teach your eyes to move across the page more efficiently.

When subvocalizing, your eyes stops on each word. This means that your eyes have to stop about 10 times each line.

To start teach your eyes to stop only three time a line: beginning middle end.

Once you master this, you can eliminate stopping in the middle. This means that your eyes stop twice per line: beginning and end.

Eventually if you master these first two steps your can teach your eyes to move vertically down the page reading a line at a time.

Great point about using this technique for “things you’ll read to stay current.” If you’re doing general research or simply like to keep up on news/trends, often you just need to understand ideas rather than every single detail. Reading faster will make these tasks more productive, no doubt.

Skeptics shouldn’t think of this technique as the “be-all, end-all” way to read, but rather as a tool that can help you in certain circumstances.

I definitely stay in “detail mode” when proofreading or editing a document–I have to be 100% thorough. However, I love tips like this for other types of reading! Thanks!

I learned speed reading in school in sixth grade. I have read that way ever since. I forgot people still sub vocalize. WOW! That must make life awful. Thank you for reminding me what a blessing speed reading is.

hahaha…I was subvocalizing this post as I read it until I got to the point where you said “stop subvocalizing”.

It worked. Will have to give it some practice. Thanks for the tip.
