What is speed reading?

Speed reading techniques increase the speed at which you can read while still understanding. Speed reading is similar to conventional reading in that you scan your eyes down the page, consciously taking in information as you go. However, the major difference between speed reading and conventional reading is that with speed reading you learn to ignore irrelevant or repeated information as you look for ‘hot spots’ or ‘trigger words’ (key information).
