The document provides information about different reading strategies: - Skimming involves ignoring details and focusing on main ideas found in first sentences of paragraphs and in first/last paragraphs to get an overall impression of a text. - Scanning involves quickly searching a text for specific words or ideas, such as when looking up a word in a dictionary. - Predicting engages readers by having them anticipate what may occur in a text based on titles, pictures and their own experiences before reading. Readers can then refine their predictions while reading.

2. Skimming to get an overall impression.
Skimming is useful when you want to survey a text to get a general idea of what it is about. In skimming you
ignore the details and look for the main ideas. Main ideas are usually found in the first sentences of each
paragraph and in the first and last paragraphs. It is also useful to pay attention to the organisation of the text.
As reading is an interactive process, you have to work at constructing the meaning of the text from the marks
on the paper. You need to be active all the time when you are reading. It is useful, therefore, if you need to
read the text in detail, before you start reading to activate the knowledge you have about the topic of the text
and to formulate questions based on this information. Skimming a text for gist can help you formulate
questions to keep you interacting with the text.
Skimming a text using first lines of paragraphs.
In most academic writing, the paragraph is a coherent unit, about one topic, connected to the previous and
next paragraphs. Paragraphs are organised internally and the first sentence of each paragraph is often a
summary of, or an introduction to, the paragraph. You can therefore get a good idea of the overall content of
a text by reading the first sentence of each paragraph. This should help you get a feeling for the structure of
the text. In many cases that will be enough, but if it isn't, you will now have a good idea of the structure of the
text and you will find it easier to read in detail. Familiar texts are easier to read.

3. Examples
Here I want to try to give you an answer to the question: What personal qualities are desirable in a
teacher? Probably no two people would draw up exactly similar lists, but I think the following would
be generally accepted.
First, the teacher's personality should be pleasantly live and attractive. This does not rule out
people who are physically plain, or even ugly, because many such have great personal charm. But
it does rule out such types as the over-excitable, melancholy, frigid, sarcastic, cynical, frustrated,
and over-bearing : I would say too, that it excludes all of dull or purely negative personality. I still
stick to what I said in my earlier book: that school children probably 'suffer more from bores than
from brutes'.
Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a genuine capacity for
sympathy - in the literal meaning of that word; a capacity to tune in to the minds and feelings of
other people, especially, since most teachers are school teachers, to the minds and feelings of
children. Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant - not, indeed, of what is wrong, but of
the frailty and immaturity of human nature which induce people, and again especially children, to
make mistakes.

5. Scanning:
Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book
or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're
looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves
moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases.
Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will
answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and
skim it.
When scanning, look for the author's use of organizers such as numbers, letters, steps,
or the words, first, second, or next. Look for words that are bold faced, italics, or in a
different font size, style, or color. Sometimes the author will put key ideas in the
margin.
Reading off a computer screen has become a growing concern. Research shows that
people have more difficulty reading off a computer screen than off paper. Although
they can read and comprehend at the same rate as paper, skimming on the computer is
much slower than on paper.

6. Examples:
aperlación: Although identical bórdenes can not identify the word as 'contribution'.
The problem is that it contains the correct letters. This shows that the theory is false
outward form.
bisual - uisual: It is easier to identify "bisual 'as' visual' but 'u' and 'v' are visually
more similar. This shows that in general the sound is more important than visual
similarity.
daddeenorso: It is almost impossible to identify the disorder as "messy" but the first
and last letters are in place and the word is very simple. This shows that the
statement is incorrect canard.

7. Predicting:
Effective readers use pictures, titles, headings, and text—as well aspersonal
experiences—to make predictions before they begin to read. Predicting involves
thinking ahead while reading and anticipating information and events in the text.
After making predictions, students can read through the text and
refine, revise, and verify their predictions.
The strategy of making predictions actively engages students and connects
them to the text by asking them what they think might occur in the story. Using
the text, students refine, revise, and verify their thinking and predictions.
Esamples:
predict the outcome of that.
The first was the old problem of accurately predicting the big day.
predict which golfer they think will gain the most points during the season.
predicted to rise to two thirds by 2050.
predicted in advance.
predict with certainty the way ahead because of the current proposals for re-
organisation.
predicted likelihood.
The volumes can however be confidently predicted, in most cases, to fill the
available capacity.
