Some people, myself included, have learned the skill of speed reading. I prefer to simply hack the whole process.
If it's on the internet in digital format and can be copied, put it into here: http://spreeder.com/app.php?intro=1
Sit comfortably, relax, don't attempt to read inside your head and simply let the words flash in front of you at a word per minute pace that makes the inner monologue impossible. After a small adjustment period you will become an accomplished digital speed reader.
For hard copy reading:
- Use a finger or even better pen to eliminate back-skipping and keep your eyes from fixating to long
- Begin three words in from the line rather than the beginning, use your whole line of vision
- Let yourself practice without overly concerning with comprehension at first, most people need a little time to adjust.
- Use basic variables (i.e time yourself, later test your comprehension) to insure you're making improvements
