Different Reading Styles
READING is:
Constructive: learning about written material using knowledge
from everyday life and from disciplined fields of study:
Fluent: mastery of basic processes for the analysis of meaning;
Strategic: controlling one’s reading in relation to one’s purpose,
and/ or for comprehension;
Motivated: able to sustain attention and learning that written
material can be interesting and informative; and
A lifelong pursuit: continuous practices, development, and
refinement.

SKIMMING
 refers to looking only for the
general or main ideas,
 you read only what is important
to your purpose
 first few paragraphs in detail
 read only the first sentence of
each paragraph. Also called topic
sentences, they give you the
main idea of the paragraph
Let’s try this…
Most readers are unaware of their eye movements while they read,
assuming, if they think about it at all, that their eyes are moving
steadily along each line before moving to the next. If this were the
case, reading at one line per second (which most people would
guess to be a reasonable speed) you would cover 600;700 words
per minute Eye movements when reading are far more complex,
however. The eye makes a series of extremely rapid jumps along a
line, with a significant pause, 0.25 to 1.5 seconds, between each
jump. Furthermore, many readers do not move straight along a
line, even in this jerky fashion…
SCANNING
 look only for a specific fact or piece of
information without reading
everything
 Alphabetical - order from A to Z,
Chronological - time or numerical
order.
 Non- alphabetical - television listing
 Category – catalog
 Textual - encyclopedia entry
Chef Marco
My name is Marco. I come
from Italy. I was born in
1970. I came to Britain in
2001. I am a chef. I work at
a restaurant. I make pizzas.
I study English in the
evening.
Let’s try this…
o What is the title?
o When was Marco born?
o Where does he works?
o What did he make?

 the product of such analysis
*In-depth - gain deeper
meaning and comprehension of a
text
*Extensive - reading for your

*Intensive - reading in detail
with specific learning
