Speed Reading Techniques Guide

This document discusses techniques for increasing reading speed, including practicing speed drills where the reader attempts to reread material in less time. It recommends starting with basic speed drills of reading for 10 minutes then rereading the same material in 5 minutes, and repeating. More advanced techniques include using hand movements like the "S" or "Z" shape to guide the eyes across a page more quickly. Regular practice of 15 minutes per day for a month is suggested to build reading speed over time.
