You're on the right track because you realize that comprehending and retention are most important. It's not really SPEED READING, that you're after but SPEED COMPREHENSION. To comprehend faster, concentrate on imagining and visualizing the ideas you are reading. This will keep your mind more focused on the ideas rather than simply the sound of words. And let the speed increase on it's own. You can't push your speed, but it will automatically increase when you are reading more efficiently. See "Reading with the Right Brain" on Amazon for a fuller explanation of how to read faster and more effectively.
