Displaying one word at a time in rapid succession is called "Rapid Serial Visual Presentation" or RSVP.  This is a technique that has been explored since the 70's.  Research suggests that eliminating "sub-vocalization" or speaking words in your head as you read them can greatly improve your reading speed without affecting your comprehension.

 

Naturally RSVP is not for everyone, but for those willing to challenge themselves they will gradually be able to increase their reading speed from the average of 200-250 words per minute to 400, 600 or even 1000 words per minute.  That is a 5x increase of reading speed.  (If you spend 30 minutes reading the news now, that will reduce it to about 6 minutes for the same amount of reading.)
