Take more practice

As with any skill, reading gets better with practice. It may be hard at first, especially if you have a weak vocabulary or poor habits deeply entrenched. If you keep practicing, the going gets easier, and you'll be reading faster than you ever thought possible. Some books are easier to read quickly than others. I don't think Edison can be read at seven hundred and fifty words per minute, no matter who you are. Reading fast makes reading more enjoyable, and allows for better comprehension.
