Just knowing that the secret for reading faster is to pay attention, notice, see, the top part of the word will create the shift. Just as when you learned to read you learned to focus on the body of the letters by placing your finger under them, you saw the whole letters and words. Now just remind yourself to notice a little higher than when you learned to read.
Remember you're already reading / seeing them. You just learned a little known feature about the western letters.
