I consider `speed reading` to be reading without thinking too deeply,
especially if you already know the author's conclusion. To me `speed reading`
is actually a _different reading technique_. Sure, some people brag about
reading _War and Peace_ in less than a week, but only if they use the `speed
reading` technique.

So, I want to say:

> To prevent people from speed reading English documents, you need to ..."

My sense is that 速読{そくどく} just means _fast reading_ without any real change in
technique.

I'd like to express `speed reading`, but I don't know how. This is a lame
paraphrase that also sounds natural to me as well:

> 英語の文章をゆっくりでよく読んでくれるように、...

But, how do I express that `speed reading` as a different reading technique
concept? Maybe you can't speed read Japanese text because of no word spacing
(and kanji)???

Is "速読" somewhat a different reading technique, or is it just "reading really fast"?
Contrary to your expectation, 速読 in Japanese usually refers to a _very_
special technique like this -- to read and understand super fast.
<https://youtu.be/yBrmYDkubhI?t=35s>

"Trained" 速読 readers claim that they can understand almost everything in the
book at this speed. Naturally, most people regard 速読 as something you can
never do, or something you will never need. It's almost pseudoscience to me.

急いで読む is a neutral expression which means "to read quickly." Whether the
reader will fully understand the content depends on the context.

If you want to say "to read quickly without thinking deeply" or "to skim", you
can say
[流【なが】し読【よ】み](http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E6%B5%81%E3%81%97%E8%AA%AD%E3%81%BF)
(suru-verb). This is certainly something anyone can do. The verb 流す has such a
nuance ("to ignore unimportant things and keep going anyway").
