Explanation:

When children are taught how to read, they are also taught to associate the word they are looking at with the sounds it represents. They usually read it out loud and then, when they finally quit this habit, they develop another one - subvocalization. That means we, as adults, still feel the need to look at each word and read it in our heads, imagining its sound. This process even involves subtly moving our larynx or tongue and other parts related to speech, even though such movements are imperceptible without a machine to detect them. Subvocalizing does have some advantages. It helps decrease the cognitive load, and allows people to access meanings and memorize what is being read for some time. On the other hand, it slows down the reading process. Fast readers, even though not able to completely eliminate this habit, tend to diminish it.
