Seeker,
As a Deaf person and a fluent speaker of two languages, German and English. I can assure you that, that is not the case. My emotional attachment to English makes me a faster reader of this language because it was the language I was schooled in. My mother tongue I learnt to read later in life... at a point where my family no longer spoke the language at home. I recognised the words vocally, I was not experienced in recognising the in written form... for this reason my reading skills in German are much slower. An interesting thing though using photoreading I am able to comprehend the text much faster than by regular reading. However this comprehension is still slower than with English.
