As someone who had to relearn how to read, the best way to pick up some speed on your reading is to simply force your eyes to move back and forth a little faster than they are now. At some point, you will start having comprehension problems. That's the max FOR NOW that you can work with. Just practice at that for awhile. After a couple of weeks, speed up a little more. There will be a limit. I sped up my reading considerably after doing this for several months. However, I've reached my maximum for comprehension now and backed down a bit. Still, I'm satisfied with my current speed given my issues.
Speed reading is different as it is skimming, skipping words.
