Any quicker ways to memorize facts?

Is there a way to memorize things faster? If I read anything like 20-30 times I remember it forever. Is there anyway I can possible cut that in half? I have a learning disability, but I have been able to retain whole books and key terms and memorize 50-60 facts for test. The problem is that I don't have a photographic memory. I would love to be able to memorize things faster. Any tips? Can I practice and get better at it? If so, how? any help would be greatly appreciated
