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.

PS. length of lines is important to speed reading:
The key is SPEED READING. I have two reading
speeds...fast for getting the gist of something,
and slow for complete comprehension. Going

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.
So shorter lines are easier to read top to bottom.
