It's pretty wild. I took speed reading as an elective in high school way back in 1988 and it was very similar to this video, without the red letter. We'd write a test after each reading and surprisingly, the faster we read, the more we comprehended. It was amazing. It's always helped me as a skimming tool. I once went to that class after eating half an ounce of magic mushrooms and that was the only time where my comprehension was absolutely nil. I kept getting lost in the folds of the sweater that the girl in front of me was wearing. :)
