Step 6: Letters vs Words
Try to concentrate or focus on the letters/alphabets of a word individually instead of reading/uttering/subvocalizing the entire word. Because if want to subvocalize an entire word first then type; twill consume much time than usual or will increase the possibilities of typos (a typographical error/typing mistake) while the word is not known to you or 'Polysyllabic' word.
