I teach English as a Second language in junior/senior high in Japan. I have a special course for seniors in which I train them to read as quickly as possible without stopping to look up new vocabulary (but trying to imagine the meaning from context). I time them with a stop watch and when they finish a passage, I give them a worksheet to complete. They are not allowed to look back at what they've read. Sounds weird, but by the time of their first exams, they are reading more quickly and understanding more than if they had continued to read - one - word - at - a - time. Kind of counter-intuitive but believe me, it really works. The text is called "Reading Power" and it's published by Pearson/Longman.

Whenever I have to take reading comprehension tests, I read the questions first and then read the paragraphs so I have in mind the context that I need to pay attention to. This saves a lot of time esp on standardized tests. That way I will have extra time for the more difficult stuff like algebra or whatever.

It's possible to invest plenty of time and income searching for approaches to train your kids how to see and boost their examining skills. Is difficult to show a tiny child how to read, and actually attractive them to read is challenging in itself. But it does not need to be that way as you got assistance from this system https://tr.im/Wit6w , Children Learning Reading program.
With Children Learning Reading you can show your son or daughter how to split up seems and separate phrases into phonemes, a vital issue whenever your kid is simply understanding how to spell.
The studying process from Children Learning Reading program allows you for children to learn rapidly and effectively, from simple words to phrases until they learn to see stories.
