<p>I read aloud in my head a lot, especially if I am reading for pleasure, because I love language, I love words, and how they sound and feel on my tongue.
I think you need to learn to differentiate and classify your reading. There is all kinds of stuff you can skim and highlight. Remember learning how to read non-fiction in grammar school? PREVIEW – look at the section headings, the words in italics, the pictures and charts. Then read through the section quickly with a highlighter. Then go over what seemed especially important.</p>
