  • I have to finish 50 pages like now hope this method works :)

  • Will this practice technique work if you listen to music while reading? Or by listening to the audio of a completely different book? Or perhaps reciting entire sentences of something besides "1234" "aeiou"? Or maybe even while having a conversation with someone?

  • Thanks.. 1234 is what I use now

  • i try to do it but i could`t remember all of the text like i say 1 2 3 4 but i just see word they don`t in my mind

  • @UtopiaMinor666 correction mental photography is the best skill they never teach u in school :)

  • That's weird, I thought this was how you were meant to read. I never realised I was inadvertently using a 'speed-reading' technique.

  • Actually the opposite is true. People who have problems with reading (e.g. dyslexia, alexia) often have problems translating the signs into spoken language mentally, i.e. getting the voice of the text in their minds. Without doing so, it is very difficult to comprehend the text. It rarely involves the larynx. Poor reading speed can be due to e.g. lack of concentration, not recognizing the visual signs, unfamiliar discourse, interference from aural language (e.g "AEIOU"), info dense phrases etc.

  • @staboymalibu94 its an exercise to stop you from pronouncing words in your head. Pronouncing words in your head slows you down and is unneccesary

  • I've tried this before it's great, but you tend to to forget key details...

  • I don't get it, How should I read a sentence with reading AEIOU???????
