do you read aloud in your mind or is your brain silent?
do you read aloud in your mind or is your brain silent?

i’m not sure exactly how to explain this, but essentially, my friend read a passage really quickly. when i asked how he managed this, he told me he just “reads super fast.” i questioned him further and apparently when he reads, he just absorbs it without hearing the words in his head (???), which makes him read faster, while i basically “speak” in my mind, which makes me read slower.

so, do you guys read his way or my way?
