Try to read groups of words instead of one at a time. This widens your vision span and speeds up comprehension.

Focus on keywords, headings, and bold text. Skimming helps you grasp the main idea quickly without reading every word.

Like any skill, speed reading improves with practice. Set aside 15 minutes a day to read and track progress.
