Back in the 70's an elementary I had attended taught the Evelyn Wood's speed reading lessons.
They would set up this projection screen for the whole class, and then a light would reveal a sentence from left to right kinda like a flashlight in the dark scanning something.
By the time you got to like the 3rd or 4th word the 1st and 2nd would already be out of view, of course it depended upon the speed.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I can read extremely fast and retain alot of information.
What it taught me to do was to scan for key elements in a paragraph, a plot point in a story, or an explanation of something in a school book.
Try it, I think you'll like it.
