While reading, do not try to speak out or even murmur words as you read ahead. Because when you try to speak words, you give each and every word as much time as you do not really need to give it for reading. Our brain has to go slow so as to keep along with our mouth or concious part of brain trying to pronounce words.
So, from now on practise reading with brain running at its freedom. Initially you may notice that you are failing to retain what you read. Just practise and give it proper concentration and time. Use some not-so-important stuff to read for practice.
When you read, do you hear the words in your mind or even subconsciously say them under your breath? Break this one habit, called subvocalization, and you can double or even triple your reading speed.
When you say the words as you read them, you can't read any faster than you can talk.

One simple way is to preoccupy your mouth. When you give your mouth something else to do while you read, you can disengage the speech mechanism in the brain, allowing what your read to go straight to your conscious awareness rather than being slowed down by your brain needing to figure out how to say the words first.So chew some gum, hum, or eat lunch while reading and you may find yourself going through a ton of reading material like never before.
