Speed reading improves reading comprehension.
the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL

Is it true that speed reading improves reading comprehension?
Partly. Evidence is mixed and only partial: one junior-high training study and one small seventh-grade experiment report comprehension gains from speed-reading instruction, while a preliminary NASA-funded case analysis and a wiki essay report no comprehension advantage at high speed. No source settles the general claim at full strength.
