In the contemporary world, reading is a fundamental skill for the acquisition of knowledge and intellectual development. The result of the act of reading is the literal comprehension of the ideas expressed, as well as other types of higher order that include interpretive, critical, and creative comprehension. Given its importance, the objective of this work is to analyze methods and techniques to improve the speed and efficiency of reading, which ultimately allows addressing the large amount of academic material effectively. As a main result, we found that by implementing superficial, selective and critical reading techniques, taking advantage of technological tools and managing time effectively, students can optimize their reading process and achieve a higher level of comprehension. Furthermore, while reading may have an academic component, fostering the pleasure of reading various types of literature is important as being exposed to various points of view has been shown to be helpful in developing the imagination. In addition, the role of the teacher from an early age plays a fundamental role since in various ways it can increase the motivation of students.
