<p>Believe it or not, when I was in elementary school, they tried to teach us speed reading. They would show a reading passage for a small amount of time, then they would show it again, this time with key words highlighted, for an even shorter amount of time. Then we would have to answer typical reading comprehension-type questions. I have no idea if it worked - but I am a fast reader. Like VeryHappy, I can slow it down when necessary.</p>
