I'm not sure that 'scheme' is 100% the word you meant to use (perhaps you meant 'skim'?).

People don't read from left to right. The same way that they don't press individual letters on the keyboard (think about it, if you're typing at 100 WPM you can't think of every single individual character at that speed).

A perfect example is Spritz. Try this. I managed to comprehend at 700 WPM. No way my eyes could move at that speed. It works because of pattern matching.
