Okay, I see. Thank you. So, there are

specifically academic texts. These are
skimming, scanning, intensive and
extensive reading.

Thank you for sharing your answers.

− Now, the purposes of learning reading (Students listening attentively)
styles are: −
• to help even the least academically
talented people become proficient
readers;
• boost comprehension of the text; and
• each style has its own purpose that
could help readers to grasp
information.

Now, what are the purposes of these

reading styles. Skimming
➢ referred to as gist reading, means
− going through the text to grasp the
main idea.
• ➢ focuses on the main theme or the
core of the text. Scanning
➢ the reader quickly scuttles across
sentences to get to a particular
piece of information
➢ involves the technique of rejecting or
• ignoring irrelevant information from
the text to locate a specific piece of
information.
 − Now, what is the difference between
skimming and scanning? − The difference between skimming and

scanning helps you locate information.

Intensive Reading
➢ more time-consuming than skimming (Students listening attentively)
and scanning as it needs the reader’s −
attention to detail.
➢ It involves close reading that aims at
the accuracy of comprehension,
understanding the meaning of every
word.
• Extensive reading
➢ lays more emphasis on fluency and
less on accuracy.
➢ It usually involves reading for pleasure
and is more of an out-ofclassroom
activity

− Anyone, who can tell me what is the

difference between intensive and
extensive reading?
The difference between intensive and
− extensive reading...
− Well said, thank you. The difference
between these two is intensive reading

specific learning aims and tasks. Yes, ma’am.
However, extensive reading involves −
learners reading texts for enjoyment and
to develop general reading skills.
