It varies.
If it is something really important to me, I read it slowly and carefully. If it something where I stumble on an idea or concept, such as a scientific paper, I slowly read it, sometime rewrite it and study it further.
If it is for fun, I basically skim through and read line by line. As is the case with words that are misspelled, (so long as the first and last letter are in the correct order, 65% or so can still understand the words.) Surprisingly, the same holds true for sentences written in a book. I blasted through several Fiction books like that. It was especially useful to read Harry Potter that way before seeing the movies.
oh yeah thats right, i didnt think of that...like it depends on what your reading.
and its also true what you said about the first and last letter of words, its the same for me
Now to shift the topic, because I have always been curious about this one with others.
Do you hear your own voice or is it someone else's voice inside your head when you read something to yourself?
(I am being serious here, I'm not implying schizophrenia.)
For instance, when I have heard someone else read the story I can sometimes hear that voice in my head instead of my own.
The best example which springs to mind is from the Simpson's 2nd season, first Halloween special, they read a version of "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe. James Earl Jones read narrated (read) "The Raven" whilst Simpsons characters acted out the scenes.
Whenever I have read "The Raven" again, I can almost hear James Earl Jones reading it from the Simpsons.
yesss!! exactly what you said!
i love that poem the raven, ive read it over and over and its always in james earl jones' voice.
or if its a phrase that someone i know always uses, its in their voice or tone.
also if im reading someone elses essay for example, i can hear their voice in my head reading
and in fiction i kind of make up voices for different charactors if its a really good book, and i sometimes even imagine them too
Neat! I wondered if anyone else did this.
I talked about Harry Potter above. I tend to imagine the voices of, Harry, Ginny, Ronald, Hermione et. al. when I was reading their dialogue in the books.
How do you read when your reading to yourself?
