Reaching regular-reading speeds of 1200WPM is very easy with programs like eyeQ.
http://www.infmind.com/ I highly recommend it. It increases mental efficiency and spatial-awareness.
I'm at 1500WPM right now. I'm trying to reach 2500 so then I can get to 5000, and so on. One step at a time.
Remember that the mind is heavily programmed to keep the "brakes" on accelerated reading where it is. You have to work on achieving alpha states and perhaps even theta states to over-ride the barriers.
