I just can't seem to stop. I average about 185 wmp and cap at around 220. I love reading, but when I'm reading what seems like a chapter an hour (currently reading Christianit: The First 3000 Year) it makes it impractical for me to fit ~1000 page books I'd like to read into my schedule during classes and retain the information from leasiurr reading sessions. My question put simply is there a way to increase my reading speed through the removal of subvocalization? And how?

Learning to type might be a good starting point

>subvocalization
is that when you whisper what you read?
Why don't you just stop doing it, and see how far you get?
Hell, tape your mouth shut.

Subvocalization happens in your mind, not the mouth. It's the sound you hear in your brain reading out loud what you are reading.
you can't remove subvocalization, it is a meme

Try using squirt. Don't bother setting it past 300 wpm, even setting it to 250 would be an improvement for you. I've read some things on project gutenberg with it set above 400 wpm, it works really well except dialogue can be confusing.
Practice just looking at a line of text and scim across it. Do it fast and try to figure out what it said.
I pretty much subvocalize half a line of text and "hover" over the other half.
Of course not subvocalizing is easier the more familiar you are with the words. Not subvocalizing while reading Ulysses, for example, would be extremely difficult

This was pretty useful, thanks.
