Speed Reading Course

Is there a term for this?

I have noticed that I mix up my numbers, for instance I thought I stopped reading on page 58 but really I stopped on 85. I sometimes switch words around, similar to reading “the soft brown dog” as “the brown soft dog.” But I have researched dyslexia and fail to identify with any of the other symptoms. I’m a speed reader and loved and excelled at math and reading all through school. I am also an articulate speaker, but sometimes I will run three or four words together when I am speaking and it isn’t as though i am speaking to fast, but rather that my brain process the words in that nature. I was just wondering if anyone is aware of why this might be. It sounds sort of like dyslexia but I truly don’t believe it is. Is there something else similar to it that I am just not aware of?
Thanks Tink. You’re a great help. Too bad, I passed the dyslexia test.
