I just want to make a quick note about the advice – such frequent on here – not to subvocalize when reading. It is literally the only way you have to train and develop your sense of rhythm, so not doing it is very bad, other than unnatural. This is all. Goodbye.

Not a bad argument. The truth is probably than one has to know when to do it and when not to do it. It's essential for poetry but absolutely not for non-fiction for instance (unless you wanna study rhetorics maybe, but poetry will do the trick better).

I don't understand this stuff at all. When I read I hear the words in my head, I don't think my throat moves or anything like that.

Apparently there are readers who don't pronounce the words even in their head. They totally filter the sound, even the abstract essence of it, and only absorb the concepts. It's a really bad thing to do, however.

Firstly, I don't believe them. Secondly, if that were true then how do they into analytics and critical thought. You don't have to reply don't worry, I'm not that concerned about it unless I should be, I don't know.

See I feel like folks who claim they have aphantasia and no inner monologue and the like think these things are fantastical, so they still do them but don’t realize it. It just seems so unlikely that it’s hard for me to buy.

Haven't you ever had an idea you could not express with words? Don't you feel a barely perceptible delay between the thought forming and being shaped into a verbal construct? I have inner monologue, but it often feels excessive in the process of thinking. It's not a neccessity, but rather a supporting mechanism which I cannot turn off.

It's what you do when your brain gets tired and you lose focus. Depending on the magnitude of your loss of focus, you still understand more or less of the content. People who claim to only read like that are just not too much involved in their readings, and sure they understand and remember the core content but they miss out on many details, complex speeches slip before their eyes and they forget much faster. Considering the very large variety of people and how brilliantly some brains operate, it wouldn't be so surprising that some might naturally perform better than others in that mode.

I usually start by subvocalizing, but sometimes it goes away on its own depending on how deep I'm into the text. I don't really mind it either way. It's similar to thinking in words or in pure concepts.

Yes but that's when you stop retaining what you read. I also do it, mostly when I'm not too interested in the subject and I just want to finish the book, but I would never pride myself for being able to do it.
