Speed reading is a set of techniques designed to increase reading rate while maintaining reasonable comprehension, often involving methods like minimizing subvocalization, reducing regression (re-reading), using a visual pacer, and expanding peripheral vision to take in more words per glance. It is popular among students, professionals, and lifelong learners who need to process large volumes of text quickly, such as reports, textbooks, or research papers. Critics note that comprehension often trades off against speed, so results vary by method and material.
