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

English 8 - Types of Reading (Intensive vs. Extensive)Juan Miguel Palero
It is a powerpoint presentation that discusses about the lesson or topic: Types of Reading (Intensive vs. Extensive). It also includes the definition and types of Reading Styles.
Teaching writing
Of the 4 skills, writing is arguably the most problematic for learners and often the most challenging
for teachers. Writing is not easy particularly when compared with speaking, where
reformulations, body language, clues from listeners can do much to compensate for a lack of
precision or inaccuracies when communicating messages. Time is also a factor – writing may be
relegated to homework tasks as there is often a feeling that writing in class uses up time which can
be more usefully spent on other activities. However, as this workshop aims to show, developing
good writing skills is conducive to the development of other language skills including
communication skills.

The most important lesson in developing your reading skills is the understanding of different types of reading.
You will be able to efficiently increase your reading by using the type of reading that is most appropriate to the task you need to complete.
This will help you not to apply the wrong reading type over a task that requires a different reading approach.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
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.

2. Several types of reading may occur in a
language classroom:
Oral
Silent
Intensive
a. linguistic
b. content
Extensive
a. skimming
b. scanning
3. Intensive reading "calls attention to
grammatical forms, discourse markers, and
other surface structure details for the
purpose of understanding literal
meaning, implications, rhetorical
relationships, and the like." He draws an
analogy to intensive reading as a "zoom lens"
strategy .
4. Intensive Reading
Characteristics
Reader is intensely involved in looking inside the
text
Focus on linguistic or semantic details of a
reading
Focus on surface structure details such as
grammar and discourse markers
Identify key vocabulary
Draw pictures to aid them (such as in problem
solving)
Read carefully
Aim is to build more language knowledge rather
than simply practice the skill of reading
5. Intensive Reading
Activities
Identify main ideas and details
Making inferences
Looking at the order of information and how
it effects the message
Identifying words that connect one idea to
another
Identifying words that indicate change from
one section to another .
6. When it is used
when the objective of reading is to achieve full understanding of:
- logical argument
- rhetorical pattern of text
- emotional, symbolic or social attitudes and purposes of the author
- linguistic means to an end for study of content material that are difficult
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> Role of the teacher
The teacher chooses suitable text.
The teacher chooses tasks and activities to develop skills.
The teacher gives direction before, during and after reading.
The teacher prepares students to work on their own. Often the most difficult part is for the teacher to "get out of
the way" .
The teacher encourages students through prompts, without giving answers.
Advantages
It provides a base to study structure, vocabulary and idioms.
It provides a base for students to develop a greater control of language
It provides for a check on the degree of comprehension for individual students
Disadvantages
There is little actual practice of reading because of the small amount of text.
In a class with multi-reading abilities, students may not be able to read at their own level because everyone in
the class is reading the same material.
The text may or may not interest the reader because it was chosen by the teacher.
There is little chance to learn language patterns due to the small amount of text.
Because exercises and assessment usually follow intensive reading, students may come to associate reading
with testing and not pleasure.
7. Extensive reading is carried out "to achieve a
general understanding of a text."
extensive reading as "occurring when
students read large amounts of high interest
material, usually out of class, concentrating
on meaning, "reading for gist" and skipping
unknown words."
The aims of extensive reading are to build
reader confidence and enjoyment.
8. The purposes of reading are usually related to
pleasure, information and general understanding.
Reading is its own reward.
Reading materials are well within the linguistic
competence of the students in terms of
vocabulary and grammar.
Reading is individual and silent.
Reading speed is usually faster than slower.
Teachers orient students to the goals of the
program.
The teacher is a role model of a reader for the
students.
9. Interview each other about their reading.
Reading may be combined with a writing component. For
example, after reading the newspaper, students may be
asked to write a newspaper report.
Class time reading
Students may set their own goals for their next session.
A reading log (recording number of pages read and at
what level)
A reflection on what they noticed about their own reading
A book report or summary
A retelling of part of the text
Book project
10. A quick reading, focusing on locating
specific information.
Scanning involves quick eye movements, not
necessarily linear in fashion, in which the
eyes wander until the reader finds the piece
of information needed.
Scanning is used when a specific piece of
information is required, such as a
name, date, symbol, formula, or phrase, is
required.
11. Scanning is used often with
technical, scientific or professional materials
to locate specific information.
Scanning is a valuable skill for second
language learners to develop because often
they do not require a detailed read of a text.
12. - Make predictions and guesses
- Use titles and tables of contents to get an
idea of what a passage is about
- activate prior knowledge
- anticipate what they want to learn about
the topic
- Use titles, pictures, and prior knowledge to
anticipate the contents of the text
- Use key words, that may have been given
to them by the teacher, that do not appear in
the text, that allude to the main idea
13. Skimming is a quick reading to get:
To know the general meaning of a
passage
To know how the passage is organized, that
is, the structure of the
text
To get the author´s purpose
14. Skimming is used to build student confidence
and an understanding that it is possible to
gain meaning without reading every word in a
text.
Skimming is used as part of the SQ3R method
of reading, often for speed reading. This
method involves the student in
surveying, questioning, reading, reviewing
and reciting.
Skimming is used to review a topic.
15. Locate facts and opinions
Sets a time limit to the reading activity
