Nobody actually knows when speed reading was first used, but it might have been a long time in the past. For centuries, reading was the privilege of a small group of the most well-educated people in the world, the overwhelming preponderance of whom were monks and priests. This small, select group of men protected their privilege and were loathe to teach the general populace to read. Moreover, during those hundreds of years there were relatively few books to read compared with today. Books were also very dear as they all had to be copied out by hand. Possibly the only fact that has not altered is that the Bible was the most widespread book in existence and even now the Bible is the most prevalent book.
