Howard Berg is the world's faster reader as stated in the guinness book of world records, he claims that he read 1.5 pages per second, i've listened to a few of his tapes, he tells you to read at normal speed for the first minute, then double the next minute, then triple the next minute, and then back to your comprehension speed for the fourth minute, he has you repeat these exercises so you do four sets of four.
But anyways speed reading would be a great tool for activation, not saying that its mandatory but Paul Scheele was a speed reader.
