What are the possible solutions for a slow reader?

I am a very slow reader when I try to read an article. I never can make things simple therefore  it is natural to have such a problem for me. I actually normally do not care about being slow because I want to understand the things in depth but because of the time being, I cannot write my papers/homeworks etc. on time. So, in real life (not in my dream world), I have serious problems because I am a slow reader. I know that you are experienced people in your study of areas. So could you make any beneficial recommendations to me?

P.S. I am a student of social sciences.

Edit: Thanks for all of the commentators who kindly help and make suggestions for being a good reader. You shared your experiences and advice with me sincerely. Not only because I got advice from you but also I thank you because you wanted to help a student who is in trouble.

I’ll let you in on a little secret about academic writing: you don’t need to read every word in order to understand the material. 

Here is one reading strategy that you might try. Read the first paragraph and then read the first sentence of every paragraph, and then read the final paragraph. You can do this for every chapter or even every section in an article. You can certainly slow down if something seems particularly interesting or important, and you want to make sure you read everything in bold or italics.  But generally this will help you get the key points of the reading. 

Also, for most academic journal articles, you probably don’t need to spend too much time on the methods section, unless you know it is something that you will be scrutinizing in class.
