Subvocalization is the habit of reading "aloud" to yourself. This doesn't necessarily mean that you are really speaking out loud, however. Subvocalization can mean moving your lips while you read, whispering the words as you read, or simply saying the words to yourself silently in your mind. When you subvocalize, even if it's only in your mind, you are limiting yourself to the speed at which you can speak one word at a time. To get rid of this habit, you need to develop a better habit: chunking.
Chunking means reading a group of two or more words at one time. In order to learn this skill, you must train your eyes and your mind to take in groups of words. Since you can't speak more than one word at a time, even in your mind, once you learn to read in chunks, you'll quickly eliminate any habit of subvocalization.
