2) Block subvocalization (good exercise - read any text and count in voice from 9 to 1, this one trains two hemispheres of brain and train blocking subvocalization while you reading, don’t worry about speed and comprehension, it’s just 5 min training for daily using)
3) Train visual span (peripheral vision), read 2–3 words at one glance
4) Train working memory
5) Improve vocabulary (you should recognize words fast)
6) Play brain games (for example, Lumosity and Readlax, Readlax more for speed reading training, but Lumosity mostly for fun cognitive training. My favorite is “Numbers Grid” from Readlax).

Speed reading skill is not for fiction books, in this case, speed doesn't matter at all, you read for pleasure. Training of reading speed has a big role in self-education, collection ideas, getting knowledge and professional growing. All CEOs read at least 50-60 books per year. Warren Buffett read 500 pages every day :)

It's not comfortable to read with Readlax Chrome Extension but it's a good tool to use it not for reading but for 5-10 min training with reading speed in 40-50 % more than your standard reading speed. We forget that we increase our reading speed when we are studying in school and college but forget about speed after that. https://readlax-reading.quora.com/Ave...

"skimming" is not speed reading. Speed reading is a special skill to read a chunk of words at one glance, increasing visual span and peripheral vision. Real speed reading is not about losing information but about increasing comprehension while reading with bigger speed. Human brain like and need to work with information with bigger speed, it's boring for him to work with text information with standard speed
