Claims on Speed Reading having effects on the comprehension level of an individual dated back 30 years ago. There were a lot of techniques being introduced regarding speed-reading however; there are only a few extensive studies on that measure and evaluate speed-reading in relation with comprehension. Most studies are focused only in developing speed-reading but what they do not identify is that comprehension should also be within the picture and should be measured too instead of only enhancing speed-reading. An experiment on speed-reading, were randomly assigned participants of St. Benedict College into two groups consisting of ten people per group whose ages range from 18-23. One group is otherwise known as the treatment or extensive groups while the other as the control or intensive group. The treatment group would be given seminars and exposed to speed-reading techniques a while the control group would be given a reading a comprehension test the most. Results indicate that subjects exposed to speed-reading seminars achieved both higher speeds of reading and slight raise in comprehension levels.A widely recognized problem faced by learners throughout the world is that of slow reading (Hamp-Lyons
