1. What is reading and its benefits?

= Reading is a complex "cognitive process" of decoding symbols in order to construct or

derive meaning. Reading is a means of languange acquisition, communication, and of sharing
information ideas.

The benefit is Reading provides an avenue for mental stimulation, boosts creativity, and helps
improve focus and concentration. Additionally, it can be a source of entertainment and
relaxation, offering an escape from the stresses of daily life.

2. Differentiate between intensive and extensive reading?

= Intensive reading involves a detailed, focused approach to understand the content

thoroughly, often involving close analysis of language and structure. Expensive reading, on
the other hand, isn't a commonly used term in reading practices.

3. Different between skimming and scanning of Reading?

= Skimming involves quickly glancing through a text to get a general idea of its content,
focusing on headings, subheadings, and the first sentences of paragraphs. It's useful for
quickly grasping the main points of a text without delving into details. Scanning involves
searching for specific information within a text, often by looking for keywords or phrases. It's
useful for quickly finding specific information within a larger body of text.
