Harold,
I think that you are onto something, but offered a wrong solution.
As other posters noted, people do not like rules, especially so many of them. For gifted ones, it is the last thing we want to do to make them robots.
In my opinion, the problem lies in reading comprehension. Reading math and science literature is different from reading novels. There is a level of details often skipped by a faster reader, which leads to missing information, and repeated reading, and slow down the process of problem solving. So if you can devise a way of training in "precise reading", it will be better appreciated.
