[exscentric]

I used to mouth all words to myself just to get the meaning of things. Over the years that has minimized though find myself making little twitches in my mouth when trying to read very carefully. I blame dyslexia but do not know for positive. Even now (in my 70's) I still vocalize in my mind or I cannot remember the meaning when I end the sentence. I often have to return and reread a sentence to get what was said. Might be partly the old age thing too :-)

As I've said before I had not read for pleasure - ever - because it was so difficult. When in school (all levels) I took forever in my homework/reading. An ereader crossed my path three years ago and to date have read 100 books for enjoyment - do not spend that much time reading either.

I might add, my speed reading course in college did nothing but mess with my brain. I still try and usually come back for a word by word reading to understand what I had just skimmed. I find myself at times kicking into speed reading and it is always a waste of time.
