Speed reading is an essential skill in modern education, requiring students to quickly and effectively comprehend information. This study aims to examine innovative and effective strategies for developing students' speed reading abilities in the era of modern learning. The research method used is library research, involving an extensive review of books, scholarly journals, and previous studies relevant to speed reading instruction. The findings indicate that the most effective strategies for improving speed reading skills include a combination of skimming and scanning techniques, minimizing subvocalization, and practicing word visualization. Additionally, the integration of digital technologies, such as AI-based learning applications and interactive platforms, has been shown to enhance both reading speed and comprehension.

This article examines the role of coastal women in sustainable development, focusing on the challenges and opportunities they encounter. Women in coastal areas significantly contribute to fisheries, marine product processing, and environmental conservation. However, they often face various obstacles, including exclusion from decision-making processes and unequal resource access. A gender-based approach is used to explore how empowerment can be achieved through capacity building, enhanced access to technology and capital, and livelihood diversification.
