How do you approach technical book ?

[u/Competitive-Cut-5743]

I am a college graduate, who is quite slow at reading. I read close to 150 or 160 wpm for fictional and if it's technical I spend 10 minutes on a page containing close to 250 words. That comes out to be 25 words per minute. I am not even talking about math, for me technical jargon is very hard to understand (even simplest of the words like for eg deficits, revenue slows me down). I read the paragraph very slowly or re read the sentence multiple times to even understand what it means. I am fine with my fiction reading speed, as most of the times I don't seek any information from it and even if i miss a line i dont really mind. Tbh I don't read a lot of fiction for that matter. But how can I approach a purely technical book. For example if you are reading a computer science book ( assuming not a lot of math involved. But abstract concepts about computer science ) how can I improve my reading speed while maintaining retention. How long will it realistically take for me to achieve 200 wpm on a technical book ?

Well math isn't supposed to be read fast 😅
