Personally I don’t actually think of the words outloud in my head when I read, or at least I haven’t since I was a kid. I instead selectively read words and just kinda look at the rest and from that can form a picture of what’s happening much faster than reading every word.

i feel like reading used to flow a lot better in my head and now it feels, like, disjointed?? i’m sure it’ll get better the more i read again but it’s just a weird and jarring feeling as someone who used to adore reading when she was younger

i’m kind of both. i hear the words aloud in my head and also simultaneously imagine a picture. it’s just now the little voice in my head is like 🤖🤖🤖 instead of 🎶🎵🎶 lol

I love the way you look at it, especially when life happens. I'm getting back into reading myself just recently, and so far so good. It doesn't help that I'm so picky with books either, but hey you gotta do what you gotta do
