I used to speed read at a horrendous rate. During high school, my summer job for the school included recalibrating the reading machines in the reading lab. I think I had 60 or 80 machines, a day each if there was no repairs.

When school started, the reading teacher heard I was consuming a book a day, or more, had me test. It was like 2k words a minute (over 3 on the machines) with 80 % comprehension.

Per my eye doctor that was one reason I was almost 50, with 30 years of computer printouts, screens and PCs before I needed glasses.

But I started reading technical manuals, and you can't speed read them, so I can still read quickly but nowhere what I could.

I don't really think you can learn that later in life, I was 15 / 16 when I learned.

AND if you are reading for enjoyment, take your time.
