Types of Reading
Serge Mikhailov (2008) divides reading into five
types, they are as follows:
1)
Scanning
This type of reading is done quickly to locate
specific information, for example, scanning telephone books, catalogs,
dictionaries, event calendars, book indexes, etc.
2)
Skimming
Skimming is kind of reading that done quickly to gain a general impression as to whether
the text is of use, it is not
necessarily searching for a specific item and key words. It provides an
'overview' of the text. It is useful to look at chapter/section headings,
summaries and opening paragraph.
3)
Light
Reading
This type of reading is just for leisure and it does not generally require
detailed concentration. Its average speed just about 100-200
words per minutes.
4)
Word by
Word
This type of reading is time consuming and demands a
high level of concentration. Some materials are not readily understood and so
it requires a slow and careful analytical read. People use this type of reading
for unfamiliar words and concepts, scientific formula. It can take up to an
hour just to read a few lines of text.
5)
Reading
to Study
This type of reading is aimed to understand
the material in some depth. It has some steps in running this type, they are
Survey, Question, Read, Recall and Review. More details about the steps as
follows:
· Survey : Skimthrough
to gain an overview and not key points.
·
Question
:Devise
questions you hope the text will answer.
· Read : Slow and carefully.
· Recall : From
memory, write down the main points made by the chapter.
·
Review:Revisit your questions - compare these to
your recall and establish how well the text has answered them; fill in any gaps
by further reading and note-taking.
