How to prepare for verbal section ?

To prepare for VA section. Someone said read read and read but I am facing a problem in reading, I mean do I have to opt speed read ? Focus on my reading speed (current speed=250-300 wpm) ? Minimize my sub vocalization ?  Eliminate my inner voice in head during reading ? I am skeptical from past  2 weeks. I am not an avid reader, I hate reading novels I read the Hindu editorials and 3-4 articles in New York times daily. Could you suggest me a way to solve my problem or any advice would be appreciated.
