Back in the mid 70's when I was in elementary school they taught us how to speed read using the Evelyn Wood's speed reading program.
Mainly you learn how to skim for vital information...been a long time and I don't remember all of the lessons but when I was a kid I read the shit out of books.
They used to have those programs at the library during summer like read 10 books and you get a prize...read another 10 get another prize etc.
I would finish the entire program like within a week. The librarian would ask to speak with my parents to confirm I actually read the damn things...LOL.
But now I just look at dirty pictures on the net...don't need to know how to read
