This is a report on the effect of speed reading practice on reading strategies of intermediate/advanced learners. In each class, learners were given 1 to 2 newspaper articles to read within a time limit, followed by some questions on the content. The comments from a questionnaire at the end of the course (which comprised 8 to 9 classes) showed that about 90% of learners felt that the practice was effective, and about half of the learners thought it changed their way of reading. Learners without Kanji background showed a tendency to change their approach from decoding to reading, i. e. reading without stopping at each word, and using inference to cope with unknown words. Speed reading practice was therefore not only effective in increasing reading speed, but also induced better reading strategies.
