Is the ability to read quickly a common trait for gifted people?
I assume so? There may be a component of eidetics for some of us. I tend to read in chunks of paragraphs unconsciously and backfill for detail.
This only became apparent when reading novels aloud to DS. Not infrequently, I'd unintentionally visually read a section down the page while reading a different section aloud.
Pleasure reading is a favourite activity in our household, and I usually withdraw about 5-6 new non-fiction books per week for myself from the library. I read most evenings for about 2 hours, usually skipping between sections of a few different books in that time - maybe about 300pps a day? (outside professional reading)
