<p>I’m like VeryHappy, speed reader and extraordinarily fast typist. My mind processes the words quickly. I did not every take a special typing or speed reading class. DH on the other hand is a much slower reader and typist. However he often reads more technical stuff that bores me to tears and has a very different mind. He is very analytical, I’m not.<br>
There is certainly room for both and taking more time to read you are probably getting more out of it.
As far as the subvocalization I do not do that. I definitely see groups of words, like a picture. I did not conciously take a class to learn to do that but I know that is part of the speed reading technique and it definitely works.</p>
