It seems counterintuitive, but reading faster often leads to better comprehension.

The Bored Brain

When you read slowly(at speaking pace), your brain has excess processing capacity.It gets bored.It starts thinking about lunch, emails, or chores.

Forced Focus

By forcing speed, you demand your brain's full attention. There is no excess capacity for daydreaming. This intense focus creates stronger neural pathways and significantly improves retention of the core concepts.

Speed doesn't kill comprehension; lack of focus does.
