I teach speed reading in many UK universities - to post graduates, academic staff and support staff - with really good results. Than answer is that speed reading techniques do help graduate students - you can learn how to do it on a course or from a book but to make the skills stick you have to practice. Speed reading is really about learning a number of effective reading habits - and working to eliminate old habits that are not useful. And learning new habits is not necessarily a quick and easy thing to do! I have produced a neat audio course called 'Speed Reading for Success' which tells you exactly how to go about learning. Feedback from users is really good - you can find out more on our website www.word-smiths.co.uk. The download version is not expensive. Email me at jane@word-smiths.co.uk if you have any problems once you start to learn. Good luck with this!
