How many strategies are used 
    to develop 
         reading?
             
                There are FOUR types: (1) Skimming , (2) Scanning, 
                                                         (3) Intensive reading , and (4) Extensive  
                                                            reading.
        1. What are the basic 
    characteristics of 
              Skimming (gazing)?
                Skimming  is the process of quickly viewing a section of text to get a     impression of the 
    author's main argument, themes or ideas. There are three types of skimming: preview, overview, 
    and review.
               1. To get a general idea of a text.
               2. To identify your reason for reading. 
               3. To understand a writer’s attitude. 
               4. To read the text quickly.  
               5. unnecessary to understand every thing. 
               6. To look at the first and last sentences.
               7. To summarize the main points.  
       2. Scanning (gazing) and Its 
    Basic Features 
            
               1. Reading quickly to find particular pieces of information. 
                    ( statistic, a date, a persons’ name, the name of a place )
               2. We do not need to read every word to find information.
               3. Using a finger or a pencil to move quickly through the words. 
                
                  
          3. Intensive Reading
               
                  1. Reading is for every detail ( a description of a process, a 
                       results of a scientific study , or a set of literature text)  
                  2. To stop and think what you are reading. 
                  3. You may read the text more than once. 
                  4. To make notes or highlight important points for future 
                        reference.   
                  5. It is called Study Reading.
                  
        4. Extensive Reading 
             
             1. Reading is for pleasure and interest.  
             2. We may concentrate , but we don’t have to worry 
                   about detail.

               Notes:  We often use more than one method of reading 
                           for a single text.
