Hi boredguy8, thanks for the detailed response. It sounds like you are a "natural" in that you didn't intentionally learn the skill, it just sort of happened by necessity because you were reading a lot. Either way it seems like you are doing a lot of the things I have read other people suggest - ie stop subvocalizing to a large degree, increase the amount of text you are seeing at each fixation (both horizontally and vertically), etc. Do you find that you have more or less comprehension when you read this way? Is this the only way you read now or do you turn back on the subvocalizing a read slower at times? Do you read using different techniques depending on the material or how well you want to understand it? Thanks again for the thoughtful response!
