Abstract

Speed reading experts deem subvocalization as a significant obstacle to achieving optimal reading rates. Perhaps one of the most telling factors in assessing an individual’s capacity for speed reading is the presence or absence of subvocalization. Repressing this “phoenemic recoding” is a key step in many reading enhancement programs. However, this valuable step in maximizing reading ability and comprehension cannot be measured in most college-level readers.
