4. Types of Reading
Skimming - running the eyes over quickly, to get the gist
Scanning - looking for a particular piece of information
Extensive reading - longer texts for pleasure and needing global understanding
Intensive reading - shorter texts, extracting specific information, accurate reading for detail.

5. Skimming
When you read quickly to gain a general impression as to whether the text is of use to you. You are not necessarily searching for a specific item and key words. Skimming provides an 'overview' of the text. Skimming is useful to look at chapter/section headings, summaries and opening paragraphs. The purpose of skimming:
To check relevance of text.
Sets the scene for the more concentrated effort that is to follow, if the text is useful.

6. Scanning For example, scanning a telephone book:
You are looking for quick specific detail.
You know what you are searching for (key words and names).
You 'see' every item on the page, but you don't necessarily read the pages - you ignore anything you are not looking for. Thus, when you discover the key words being searched for, you will be unable to recall the exact content of the page.

7. Extensive/Light Reading for leisure tends to be 'light':
Read at a pace which feels comfortable.
Read with understanding.
Skim the boring, irrelevant passages.
An average light reading speed is words per minute. This form of reading does not generally require detailed concentration.

8. Intensive/ Word by word type reading
This type of reading is time consuming and demands a high level of concentration. Some material is not readily understood and so requires a slow and careful analytical read. People use this type of reading for unfamiliar words and concepts, scientific formulae. It can take up to an hour just to read a few lines of text.

9. Intensive /to study
the aim is to understand the material in some depth. The method involves five simple steps; Survey, Question, Read, Recall and Review.
Survey: skim through to gain an overview and not key points.
Question: devise questions you hope the text will answer.
Read: slowly and carefully.
Recall: from memory, write down the main points made by the chapter.
Review: revisit your questions - compare these to your recall and establish how well the text has answered them; fill in any gaps by further reading and note-taking.

10. Strategies
Silent Reading: eye movement, complete silence. Techniques: question paragraph, mouth, time.
Oral Reading: Aloud. Techniques: reading-listening, diagnostic, play reading, choral
