<p>I also learned speed reading in elementary school, 6th grade, under a program that I think was called Building Better Readers. I don’t recall being very speedy then, but I definitely am now. And it was extremely useful in law school when we had voluminous amounts of cases to read every night. The program involved learning to read multiple words at one glance, so that, for example, you might read a line in a book in two glances of 4 or 5 words each. Every passage read was followed by reading comprehension questions. I recommend it.</p>
