Greetings!
A little about me first:
I'm an above-average Junior in high school in the US who loves Maths and Physics.
Since I was a child, I was never told how to read (I never read much, really...) I taught myself to pronounce the words out loud in my head, and this habit is really bad for me.
It takes me an absurdly long time to read literature, go through textbooks, and even read some biographies of famous scientists. I find that when I become fully immersed in the text, I sound out everything and thus it takes me a long time to go through the pages.
When I try to stop myself from reading out loud in my head as I read, I find myself glancing over words and not really comprehending the words I'm looking at until I accidentally sound the phrase out.
I've been hearing that ideally, readers should look at groups of words all together. I'm having a great deal of trouble with this.
Could anyone who has either gone through this or has a suggestion on what I should do please post below? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
