As with anything else, reading is a skill that improves with practice. The only way to read more quickly is to read more. It won't happen overnight.
Yes.
My husband has the same problem. He reads really slowly because he has to "read out loud" in his head so he never surpasses the speed in which he could actually read the text out loud - and that's pretty slow.
I showed him this homepage which is supposed to help practice faster reading by hindering you to read out loud. My husband never really tried it so he still reads reeeeally slowly. But I think if you tried and practiced with it that it could really help. I'm convinced that you first need to stop "reading out loud" and then it's just a matter or practice.
