Engage preposition
The best tip anyone can have to improve their reading speed is to practice. In order to do this effectively, a person must be [engaged in] the material and want to know more.

That is a natural metaphor for reading:
- A person will learn from their reading material if the subject really grabs their attention. They're less likely to learn from something they're not engaged with
