DS is taking quite a few classes which have heavy reading loads. I asked him how he reads. (He has visual processing issues, which have been addressed by vision therapy, but reading is still not a love of his; although audiobooks are.) He said he reads by saying the words out loud in his head. I do this as well and find that it really slows down my reading and was a detriment in grad school. DH, on the other hand, looks at material and can read it without stating it in his head. Are these just two different techniques? It is a progression developmentally? Is there a way to learn to read without saying it in your head or to increase the speed of reading while retaining information?
Thanks!
