READING FOR DETAIL

INTENSIVE READING. READING TEXTS CLOSELY AND CAREFULLY UNDERSTANDING AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE.

SKIMMING AND SCANNING

SKIMMING: READING QUICKLY TO GET A GIST OF THE PASSAGE

SCANNING: READING TO GET SPECIFIC INFO, WITHOUT READING CAREFULLY.

TOP-DOWN READING

READING FROM OVERVIEW TO DETAILS. A GOOD ROUTE FOR A READING LESSON: PRE-TEXT (INTRO, GET THEM INTERESTED), TEXT (SKIMMING & SCANNING) AND POST-TEXT (DEBATE, WRITE A LETTER IN REPLY, ROLE PLAY)

EXTENSIVE READING
