SKIMMING o The main idea of a text is quickly identified.


o The goal is to read shorter texts to extract accurate detailed
information.

o This technique is useful when seeking specific information rather than
reading for comprehension.

o People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited
amount of time.
o The first and last paragraph is read using headings, summaries, and
other organizers. The title, subheadings, and illustrations are also read.
SCANNING o It refers to quickly reading a text to get the summary of it,
o The students search for keywords or ideas.
o Scanning involves moving eyes quickly down the page seeking specific
words or phrases.
o It also used for the reader to find answers to questions.
o Once a student scanned the document, they will go back and skim it.
EXTENSIVE READING o An approach to language learning, including foreign language learning,

“Free Voluntary Reading” by means of a large amount of reading.


o The readers view and review of unfamiliar words in a specific context
will allow the reader to infer the word’s meaning, to learn unknown
words.
o Extensive Reading is the free reading of books and other written
material that is not too difficult for readers
