   Sub-vocalization is used because you are not fully aware of the language constructs of English. You are sounding out the words. 80% of the English language is sight vocabulary. Putting words into sentences create a thought process. Actually a speed reader will delete words like, the, a, etc. and grasp the thoughts, versus the symbolic letters that stand for sounds which are grouped in patterns to create understandings. There are different techniques for different understanding. You can scan for information, reread for understanding, etc.. Grasp the major concept and move to the individual ideas or look at the individual ideas and grasp the whole picture. That is why different ways of presenting information are used. Lists, outlines, paragraphs, poetry , graphs. Punctuation, underlinging, bolding serve as functional systems to create understanding. ( for example - oh,ohhhh, oh?, Oh!) Each one serves a specific purpose, to provide a reader with organized information that is rapidly “consumed” for understanding.
