Hello,
Try counting 1-2-3 while you are reading and this shuts out the internal vocalisation of reading. Also practise making pictures of what you are reading.
I had the same problem initially. I was understanding literally nothing of what I was reading. It was quite frustrating and now I wouldn't say that I undestand brilliantly when I rapid read. But I guess this improves with time- personally I wouldn't say that I read anywhere near as much as I would like to so therefore I don't get beyond a certain speed.
Best regards,
DNA
