I've always found that when I read a (fictional) book, I naturally have a mental movie playing in my head, and I cease to see words at all. I become hyper-focused and immersed in the image. If people talk to me while I'm reading (again, only fiction), I don't hear them unless they breach my focus with a louder voice or a tap on the shoulder. It's interesting to read that this can be taught.
