One highly underused strategy is identifying and applying your best colour to the text background. This also helps with dyslexia. Another is to practice creative right-brain skills like pure contour drawing. I'm busy researching hyper-speed-reading skills for my advanced course. Anyone with some great ideas to add?

Recognize that the key is to read a lot. Exactly. The problem is that after graduating high school/college, most people don't take the time to read more. It gets pushed off to the side and then forgotten amidst busy day lives. That's what happened to me, even though I do actually love reading. What helped me? The web. I got hooked on google news, that at least got me reading something productive. Then I found http://www.dailyreader.net which delivers books over email. I may not take the time to read at home, but I certainly don't mind doing it at work! So by reading a couple minutes a day I've managed to finish three books so far this year. May not be much, but it's far better than nothing. 7. Recognize that the key is to read a lot.
