The key is SPEED READING. I have two reading speeds...fast for getting the gist of something, and slow for complete comprehension. Going fast, I read the entire paragraph in about 3 seconds. Slow (normal) it was harder.
Doing speed reading involves quickly scanning words and phrases from top to bottom instead of side to side. Exact spelling does not matter as long as the letters are correct and words the right length. Nouns and verbs are important but other words can be ignored.
