This is something that I have investigated on and off for several years. I've personally never really been able to speed read and I'm not even one hundred percent sure yet if it is a legitimate thing. It seems to me that it can be done but you are probably not fully absorbing everything you read. I've tried the humming while reading (as a way to suppress the vocalization that most of us do in our heads while reading) but then don't seem to pay attention to what I'm reading. So I'm wondering if anyone here has been able to speed read effectively and if so which techniques do you find to be the most effective. Also, how long does it take to become a proficient speed reader?
