TYPES OF READING SKILL
■ Skimming
■ Scanning
■ Intensive Reading
■ Extensive Reading
7
SKIMMING
■ Skimming is a quick reading :
 to know the general meaning of a passage ;
 to know how the passage is organized;
 to get an idea of the intention of the writer.
■ Skimming is a more complex task than scanning because it requires the
reader to organize and remember some of the information given by the
author, not just to locate it.
■ Skimming is a tool in which the author's sequence can be observed, unlike
scanning in which some predetermined information is sought after.
(Maija MacLeod)
8
ACTIVITY FOR SKIMMING
9
SCANNING
■ Scanning is 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.The reader knows
what the item looks like and so, knows when he has located what he was
searching for. It is assumed then, that very little information is processed
into long-term memory or even for immediate understanding because the
objective is simply matching.
(Maija MacLeod)

INTENSIVE READING
■ READING FOR PURPOSE…… course books etc.
■ It is a "detailed in-class" analysis, led by the teacher, of vocabulary and grammar points, in a
short passage.“
(Long, Michael & Richards, J.,1987)
■ Intensive Reading, sometimes called "Narrow Reading", may involve students reading
selections by the same author or several texts about the same topic.
■ The success of "Narrow Reading" on improving reading comprehension is based on the
premise that the more familiar the reader is with the text, either due to the subject matter
or having read other works by the same author, the more comprehension is promoted.
(Maija MacLeod)
13
EXTENSIVE READING
■ READING FOR PLEASURE… story books, novels, magazines etc.
■ extensive reading is carried out "to achieve a general understanding of a text.“
(Brown, 1994)
■ It occurs when students read large amounts of high interest material, usually out of class,
concentrating on meaning.
(Long, Michael & Richards, J.,1987)
■ The aims of extensive reading are to build reader confidence and enjoyment.
■ Extensive reading is always done for the comprehension of main ideas, not for specific
details.
(Maija MacLeod)
