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
http://www.floatinghorizon.org _ Marine Litter is a serious and complex problem. Project Floating Horizon evaluates if and how robotic solutions could support the reduction of marine litter.
Stage 01: In a first stage in 2010 a concept idea was developed discussing if recovery of ocean litter would be desirable, viable and feasible. The results was that the use of robots could lower running costs, material invest and time significantly. But for the time being no answer could be given how the protection of sea life. In addition and based on the vague data existing it became obvious that the collection of offshore debris is still costly and not profitable (cost are at approx. 30€ per Kilogram if all runs well). Even more as value chains do not exist today.
Stage 02: But still robots are able to lower the mission costs and lower the risk to human beings acting in one of the most demanding environments on this planet. Robots designed to filter particles can help to monitor and understand the problem of marine litter as today very little data is existing to allow information based decision making.
To research and develop those technologies a team of enthusiasts have created a new incubation platform called OCP (Ocean Collaboration Platform) which provides an open organizational backbone for various projects (like Floating Horizon) dealing with the mission to develop marine protection supporting technologies in an open innovation kind of way.

Most of the options shown are concepts and not commercially used.
This project is a private project.
The prices of several product classes – notably fashion and technology – tend to drop over time. One possible reason for the drop over time is different customers assigning a different value to the same product or service. Price skimming models can be used to maximize a product or service’s revenue by planning price reductions over time in a manner that slowly cuts tranches of higher-value customers out of the market. This presentation provides a hands-on demonstration of constructing a price skimming model in Excel, and optimizing planned price reductions.
we should be careful in while withdrawing cash from any ATM. do check if there is any extra fitment in card insertion area , key Board, top of screen etc. This will help you to avoid yourself from falling prey to Skimming Devices and data loss.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
3. Introduction
What is Skimming?
– A way to get the overall idea of a reading
*Not Scanning*
Good for quickly finding main points in:
Lots of Text
Exam Questions
Time-sensitive Readings
4. Skimming
• How to Look and Where to Look
- Why Skim?
- How to Skim
- Where to Skim
- Improving Your Skimming
5. Skimming
• Why do we need Skimming Skills?
– To quickly find important key terms and information
– When you do not have much time
• We need Skimming Skills for these types of questions:
– What is the main idea of the passage?
– Which of the following is the best summary of paragraph 3?
– What was the author’s intent in the final paragraph?
6. How to Skim
KEEP YOUR EYES MOVING!
– Important Ideas
– Sentence Construction
– Main Points
KEEP YOUR EYES MOVING!
– Test Questions
KEEP YOUR EYES MOVING!
– Elements of English (grammar, vocabulary)
7. How to Skim
*Read all of them in under 30 Seconds*
1. A Chinese woman studying business law in Japan has a question about
studying a different kind of law. Wang Yuxian says she is a Christian and would
like to know about theological seminary programs for foreign students in the
United States.
2. A theological seminary is a graduate school of religion and a professional
school for training religious leaders. It is also sometimes called a divinity school.
Usually, such schools prepare students for ordination as clergy or for other
ministry.
3. Foreign students who want to study at a seminary in the United States apply
just as they would to any other graduate school.
8. Where to Skim
• Introductory Paragraphs
– Key to skimming
– Include thesis statements
– Include main topic of passage
– Look for important skimming information here!
9. Where to Skim
• Topic Sentences
– Important for effective skimming
– Usually the first or last sentence
– Indicate main ideas and topics
– Watch out for "But"!
• Sign that new idea or topic is being presented
10. Improving Your Skimming
• Use Your Own Knowledge
– Good skimming = Using your own knowledge
Not just words from the passage!
• You need Background Knowledge
• Best way to get it?
– Read and know about a wide range of topics
• Makes it easier to understand passages
• Can grasp ideas in less time
To be a good skimmer, it is also important to use your own knowledge, not just knowledge from the passage. To read and understand passages, you need to have some background knowledge. The most effective way to get this knowledge is to learn about as wide a range of topics as possible. When you have this knowledge, it makes it easier to understand what a passage is about, which makes understanding the overall point of the reading easier and faster.
