Reading Skills
What are the skills a good reader develop? How can we help our students develop their reading skills?
Reading skills
Teachers should focus on improving students' reading skills as it is important for developing other language abilities. There are three stages for teaching reading: pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading. Each stage has specific strategies to prepare students, aid comprehension during reading, and check understanding after reading. Some examples include making predictions, using context clues, and summarizing. Following this structured approach can help students learn to independently comprehend and analyze texts.
Kinds of reading
This document discusses different kinds and techniques of reading. There are two main kinds - extensive reading which is casual reading for pleasure, and intensive reading which requires careful analysis of details. Intensive reading has several subtypes including scanning to quickly locate information, skimming to get the main ideas, exploratory reading to understand a whole text, study reading using techniques like SQ3R to maximize understanding, critical reading to evaluate facts and opinions, and analytical reading to carefully analyze individual words. The document provides examples and steps for several reading techniques.
Types of reading
A brief overview of types of reading.
TYPES OF READING
AN OVERVIEW OF READING SKILLS AND STRATEGIES
TWO MAIN READING CATEGORIES
• A – ORAL
• B – SILENT
• 1. SKIMMING
• 2. SCANNING
• 3. INTENSIVE READING
• 4. EXTENSIVE READING
SKIMMING
Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming.
EXAMPLES OF SKIMMING
• The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day)
• Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail)
• Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
SCANNING
Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning.
EXAMPLES OF SCANNING
• The "What's on TV" section (itinerary) of your newspaper.
• A train / airplane schedule
• A conference guide
EXTENSIVE READING
Extensive reading is used to obtain a general understanding of a subject and includes reading longer texts for pleasure, as well as business books. Use extensive reading skills to improve your general knowledge of business procedures. Do not worry if you understand each word.
EXAMPLES OF EXTENSIVE READING
• The latest marketing strategy book
• A novel you read before going to bed
• Magazine articles that interest you
INTENSIVE READING
Intensive reading is used on shorter texts in order to extract specific information. It includes very close accurate reading for detail. Use intensive reading skills to grasp the details of a specific situation. In this case, it is important that you understand each word, number or fact.
EXAMPLES OF INTENSIVE READING
• A bookkeeping report
• An insurance claim
• A contract
RECAP
• Skimming - Reading rapidly for the main points
• Scanning - Reading rapidly through a text to find specific information required
• Extensive - Reading longer texts, often for pleasure and for an overall understanding
• Intensive - Reading shorter texts for detailed information with an emphasis on precise understanding
FINALLY A SHORT QUIZ
Types of reading.ppt
There are several types of reading that can occur in a language classroom including oral, silent, intensive, and extensive reading. Intensive reading focuses on linguistic details, vocabulary, and close analysis of the text. It aims to build language knowledge rather than just reading practice. Extensive reading involves reading large amounts of interesting texts to build reading fluency, confidence, and enjoyment. Skimming and scanning are also discussed. Skimming is a quick read to understand the overall meaning and organization, while scanning is searching quickly for specific facts or details. Both skills are useful for second language learners.
Types of reading
The document discusses different types of reading activities used in language classrooms, including intensive reading, extensive reading, skimming, and scanning.

Learning Skills
- 1. Reading skills Patricia Varela P.
- 2. Introduction Reading is a very important process, is one of the main ways to learn anything. What we are reading has to make sense to us, otherwise we would not comprehend the material. Therefore, some techniques that may help us to better understand our readings will help us to improve our reading skills. Reading skills means being able to understand most of our readings, from easy ones to challenging ones, from essays to novels, etc. Reading skills includes: taking good notes, making and underlining properly, being able to read from multiple sources about the same subject, reading difficult material, reading essays, good reading speed, and some general methods such as SQ3R.
- 8. Learning from multiple sources Read your text in order to provide the factual framework from which to begin. Proceed to look for shorter, more focused sources Practice with multiple texts to improve your evaluative skills: compare and contrast your sources analyze them for bias or viewpoint note when and where they were written, and how that affects the viewpoint Understand the connections between events, actors, and circumstances. Test your understanding: Use discussion time and ask questions.
- 9. Reading and Understanding Essays Think about the title, what does it tell you? What do you already know about the subject? Think about when was the essay written, how much does it affects the essay's viewpoint? Focus on who wrote it? and think about his/her prejudices and what do you expect him or her to say? Mark the most important information to you while reading the essay. Once you have finished the article, reflect on what have you learned? and on how does it relate to what you already know? Make out a summary sheet on the essay
- 10. Reading difficult material Scan the section you chose to start with. Start by reading what you understand. Practice the "look away method": take breaks where you ask yourself questions relating to the text. Look up those words you do not understand Read to the end and do not get discouraged Organize your notes by connecting ideas If you did not understand the reading well enough, try it again the next day. If the text did not get easy, consult a specialist.
- 11. Speed and comprehension Speed Each book has a different rate, you cannot read every book at the same speed. Some books are more difficult to read, and therefore comprehension depends on a slow reading Every once in a while, time yourself reading a chapter. Comprehension Scan the text first Take good notes
- 12. Marking and underlining Read a section of your text Review the section after you read it. Number important ideas in the margin. Underline: main subjects, examples of main ideas, unknown vocabulary.
- 13. SQ3R Method SQ3R : Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. Survey: the title, headings, captions, introduction, conclusion, summary. Question: what did my teacher say about this text when it was assigned, what do i already know about this subject? Read: look for answers to the questions you just did. Reduce your speed rate for challenging passages. Read only a section at a time. Recite: after reading, orally ask yourself questions about what you just read, and answer them. Take notes in your own words. Underline important points. Review: Follow the week process. Day one - what you just did. Day two - Scan the text and your notes, orally recite the answers from memory. Days three to five - use your flash cards and test yourself with the questions formulated. Weekend: Use the text and notes to make a table of contents and a spatial map, and recite the information while you are doing so.
