I want to do some speed reading, tips appreciated

I wanna do speed reading. Any suggestions would be cool.

I was on one speedreading workshop, what they made us do is to look in the middle of the 2 pages and then with corner of your eyes you glanse the pages it will be blury ofc, then you turn pages for example 20 pages fast.(this is for like your subconcious taking in the information when you read those pages it will be like you read it somewhere).

Then you go back and there is another technique called snake, you go with finger in snake like movement towards the bottom of the page seeing the key words and getting the point of the paragraph, key words are enough to give you sense of whats going on...

Here's the point imo. When you learn to find quality information and analyze it carefully there's no need to do it fast.

Sounds like Photoreading.

Did you have success with this method?

@aurum Yes its photoreading now i remember,you also use it ideally before bed to retain more information,i did this method while ago i was shocked it was working ,but at that time i had bad Adhd so i was jumping from one thing to another,so i havent done it for long enough to tell you if its working for bigger bits of information i was using it for not more than 10-20 pages and it was working...
