The document discusses different reading styles: skimming, scanning, and intensive reading. It provides examples of when each style would be used. Skimming involves glancing at a text to get the general idea quickly without reading every word. Scanning means reading quickly to find specific information. Intensive reading requires a deeper analysis of the entire text to fully comprehend and learn from it. The document explains when each reading style would be applied, such as skimming an exam question or intensively reading to answer guide questions about a story.

2. Different Reading Styles
First, let’s read this paragraph:
A man unearthed a marble statue while plowing in his field. It was very
beautiful. He took it to a collector who loved all beautiful things and offered it for sale. The collector bought it for a large price.
As the man walked home with his money, he said to himself, “How much
life this money means! How can anyone give all this for a dead, carved stone
buried in the earth for a thousand years?”
The collector was looking at his statue. He said, “It is mine, all mine! What
a beauty! What a life! The dream of what a soul! How can anyone give all this
money, dead and dreamless?”
Reprinted from ‘A Tear and a Smile’
by Khalil Gibran. New York:

4. Different Reading Styles and When to Use Them
Skimming
Skimming is a reading technique to get the general idea of the text quickly.
There's no need to read every word when skimming. A reader looks for the
key idea, the author's purpose in writing the article. You glance on the
reading material to find the information on the text that you are looking
for.
Example is in reading a Paragraph comprehension in an exam, you may
look at the text by looking at the title, introduction, any diagrams or sub-
headings to get a general idea of what the reading material is all about.

5. Different Reading Styles and When to Use Them
Scanning
Scanning is reading a text rapidly or quickly to find specific
or exact information that you need. Example of this is when
you are checking the ingredients of your favorite chicken
recipe, looking up a word in the dictionary for the
meanings, checking the result of an exam, inquiring for a
job listings or requirements in a job opening.

6. Different Reading Styles and When to Use Them
Intensive Reading
The purpose for Intensive Reading is for you to learn as much as
possible as you read the entire material. It requires the reader a
deeper comprehension and analysis of the reading material.
When a teacher asks you to answer all the guide questions and
relay the message of the story you need to do this kind of reading
technique.
As you read all this reading technique and try to compare their
differences and application, you are now doing an intensive
reading.
