Video tutorial of Chris Matt showing you how to read faster. The trick is to repeatedly say “AEIOU” or “one, two, three, four,” as you read. This prevents you from vocalizing the written words with your larynx. Once you train yourself, you can stop uttering “AEIOU,” and you will be able to read much faster than before.
I don’t know if I completely buy this, but I attempted it…and while I was able to repeat the phrase while I read, my comprehension dropped precipitously. Maybe with practice I would be a more effective speed reader, though.
