Do you know of any resources or tips to improve skimming skills? I am impressed that you can skim a book in a minute (even skimming a sentence or two per chapter might take longer than that for me).

I've been trying to improve my reading speed - I feel like it's actually degraded over time - but I don't know that I am making much progress.

I guess just read a lot of books, and keep doing it for several years. I learned to read when I was four, so I can't really remember, but I don't think I've gotten any faster since I was 16 or so. At that time I think I read for at least one hour, more or less every night.
