Summary of main points
- Techniques such as sub-vocalization is still useful for denser parts of text.
- Stop subvocalizing in sparser text by humming (unsustainable) or grouping words by reading between them.
- Use strategy by utilizing these techniques by sprinting between dense text, take processing breaks, and making lines short.
Highlights and Notes
- Sub-vocalization, at least in your mind isn’t a negative thing
- You don’t subvocalize when you know the part isn’t very important or hard to understand
- But you do subvocalize when it seems difficult and dense
- How to stop subvocalization?
- Humming in your mind to read faster (not sustainable)
- grouping words together is better by looking between two words and reading them together
- Strategy is when we use the above techniques?
- Know which part of the text is dense and which is sparse. Sprint over sparse sections to the next dense section.
- Use small but frequent breaks to reflect, understand, and predict what’s next
- Use epub files to make each line only 4 to 5 words lone so you only need to group once each line
