Speed Reading Articles write an article

It is a common habit to vocalize while reading, even if only internally. This practice will prevent you from reading any faster than you can say the words. But vocalizing isn’t really just a habit. It does serve a purpose.  It actually does help you understand what you read.  That's why it's so hard to stop.  Sentences are usually made of multiple phrases. Each phrase is an idea, or separate thought. When you hear a sentence spoken, there are sound clues that indicate where these phrases are.
