Here are a couple of things I've tried that work: -Try using a pen or your finger to guide your eyes through the words in a line with a uniform speed. This will prevent your eyes to slow down at certain words. -Try using a "L" shaped piece of paper to guide you through the words, and to prevent the previous word to be shown. This will prevent the unconscious backtracking of the eyes. -Stop pronouncing the words your read in your mind. Try keeping a 'hmmmm' voice in your head to prevent vocalization. While I found these techniques useful, I do not use them while reading the things I enjoy. I use them usualy just to skim over articles and comments to get to the important parts, and to avoid the bulk.
