Hello Niro,
I found a number of ideas helped me. I tried taking in more than one word at a time so that not only was i understanding words but entire phrases at one go. I also tried to instantly turn the book into a visual movie so that I was reading and instantly visualising the scenes that were being described.
You don't need to subvocalise a word to understand it. And as I say, repeating to yourself 1-2-3 as you are reading eliminates to a certain extent the subvocalisation and so you will find, if you stick with it a bit that your reading rate goes up considerably. In the beginning I wouldn't aim for a thousand words a minute the speed will come in time when you get into the habit of not subvocalising and translating faster the words you see into pictures- don't forget to try to use all the modalities not just visual ones- try to literally create in your imagination the story much as a director creates a movie. Being in a very relaxed state of mind also I find helps to rapid read.
Hope this is of some help,
Best regards,
Dean
