4) Extensive reading

1) Scanning is a reading technique which is


done by looking at the most imp details of
a text in a quick manner.

Allows readers to locate “specific


information" like names, dates,
places, statistics, or facts which are
usually noticeable in a text

text
Examples: bus ticket, wedding
invitation, pie graph
2) Skimming is also a speed type of reading

It also focuses on the “main idea”or


“general overview” of atext

It compels readers to find the “topic


sentence” which summarizes the whole
text itself

It doesn’t give much attention to small


details present in a text

Such as :

-Newspaper
-Magazine
-Travel Brochure
3) Intensive reading requires readers to
read and familiarize even the smallest
details of a text
It is applied when there is a specific task given
and an output is expected from the learners

Such as :
- List the events that happened in the story in
a chronological order
- Cite all the elements of the story analyzed

4) Extensive reading is done for “fun” and “


pastime”

It is loose and comfortable since no task or


output is expected after reading
It develops general reading skills
Such as :
- Story
- Books
- Comics
- Tales
- Riddles
- Jokes
