A memory device having a plurality of multi-bit cells that are programmed with interlaced data provide superior read access time. The multi-bit cells are read by reading the first bit of each of the plurality of cells sequentially using a first reference voltage then reading the second bit of a first subset of the plurality of cells sequentially using a second reference voltage then reading the second bit of a second subset of the plurality of cells sequentially using a third reference voltage. The second reference voltage being higher and the third reference voltage being lower than the first reference voltage.
