I started doing that more later on in my late teens because I found it really jarring reading comics with samevoice. Now I just find it really fun to do.

i was reading at an 8th grade level in 1st grade, but then i got cocky and complacent because everyone kept congratulating me and telling me how smart and amazing i am.

now i basically still read at a 8th grade level.

I was a "promising child" with a reading level well beyond my years, but due to some apparent oversight they didn't put me in the gifted classes and I ended up constantly questioning my intelligence from then on. I wonder if teachers realise the impact they have on our development.

You're the equivalent in literature of Tarantinerds.
Just take a look at Lolita's very first page, or some Joyce's prose.
This meme must cease its existence.

I don't understand how to read without subvocalizing. How do I look at the words and not read them? The "top" speed readers have like %60 reading comprehension at best anyways. Is that even reading anymore? Why not just subvocalize a written summary of the book then if that's your goal?

Where did you get this? Speed reading usually gets same or even higher comprehension level than normal reading.

That talks about "skim reading", normal spead reading doesn't lower the comprehension level. And of course there are individual differences, like Harold Bloom.

you just use it for training. eventually you'll become better and it'll be a habit. it's more about unlearning the subvocalisation than becoming a million wpm reader.

It limits the speeds at which you can read, because you're taking the time to sub-vocalize each word.

No, it's good to articulate the vague concepts floating around your mind into words.
