Is this a bad habit when reading?

Is this a bad habit when reading?
I sort of mouth the words in my head when I'm reading a book or piece of literature (not the forums). I can feel subtle movements of my tongue as if I'm saying the word while I'm reading the sentence. However, I feel this allows me to follow the material more accurately and helps me to avoid wandering off. Does anyone else do this? Would this be considered a bad habit because I know it's preached to not mouth the words.

Answer:

Can't say that I've ever done that, but if it works for you, then go with it.

Answer:

I fall asleep......now theres a bad habit

Answer:

If I'm reading a novel, I never mouth the words, I'm usually too engaged in the story.
If I'm studying material that may be difficult or technical, I do indeed mouth words and syntax ocassionally to process them more carefully.

I swear i'll be reading 2 or 3 pages, and after about 2 paragraphs i'll be thinking of something that happened at work, a girl i talked to...SOMETHING, and i'll be looking at the words in the book but just be thinking of something completely different and it takes me a page or two to even realize i'm not paying any ****ing attention lol

Most people do that, but if you can break yourself of that habit you will learn to read a lot faster. That's one of the techniques always discussed in speed reading books/courses.

If there's other people around, I'll tend to wander off. but when i'm reading for pleasure by myself, i tend not to do it.

When I started working on my PhD I decided to check into these books, and my reading speed improved a lot, even though I was already a fast reader. Sorry, but I can't remember the title of the book now.

Sorry, but I can't remember the title of the book now. My goal is to grasp the material being read. I don't want to sacrifice my comprehension for reading speed. hmm i'll check out amazon.

Answer:

My goal is to grasp the material being read. I don't want to sacrifice my comprehension for reading speed. hmm i'll check out amazon. The main points from the book I used were training your eyes to move smoothly across the page, training your eyes to read chunks of words instead of individual words, training your mind to not "read aloud," and a whole bunch of memory exercises. Before you buy a book, check the library. The book I used was in the university library.

Answer:

I actually simultaneously translate the novel into spanish and american sign language while reading, now that's a bad habit.
