# Speed Reader

## Overview

Reading faster isn't one skill — it's choosing the right speed for the purpose: skimming for relevance, scanning for facts, deep reading for understanding.

Most slow reading comes from bad habits (subvocalization, regression) and wrong strategy (reading everything at the same speed).

Realistic gains: 2-3x for skimming/scanning with practice; deep reading speed improves modestly — comprehension is the constraint.

## When to use

- Keeping up with heavy reading loads (study, research, work)
- Triaging articles, papers, and reports efficiently
