If you want to enjoy the sounds of the words, especially if you read a lot of poetry, it is a good idea to stay as you are.
If you don't care about any of that shit and just want to speed through brainlessly, accelerate.

I find I can read different authors faster than others. For some reason I read DFW very quickly, I don’t know if I just relate to his thought process in his prose or he just makes it easy to follow (or a mix of both) but with other writers/subjects it’s usually just at a moderate pace. Maybe something similar exists in your case?

But otherwise there’s no way to actually speed-read in a way that doesn’t sacrifice your comprehension. You might get better at filling in the blanks with common sentences the more you consciously read, but it’s better not to force it. Just make sure you’re comprehending what you’re reading at the first pass and you’ll be doing better than most.

Why?

It's not really worth paying too much mind to. The speed you'll be able to read at depends on the material and all you need to know is that some things are meant to be read faster than others, so a basic understanding of how to speed read/skim effectively will be useful.

How do you say words in your head? Is that like the inner monologue thing that some people claim to experience?

NPC ALERT!!!
Everyone point and laugh at him!

Not reading in your head only works for easy-to-read books, YA stuff and airport non-fiction
if you read anything relatively complex, you''re gonna need to slow down to understand in any case, so might as well read the words in your head

Depends on what u r reading. Why would u read fiction/history/philosophy/essay in which every word is not to be enjoyed? Only science is worth skimming over until you find the words u'r looking for, or some new ideas.
