SKIMMING01

Skimming
Skimming is a quick reading
technique used to get a
general overview or the main
ideas of a text without
focusing on every detail. The
goal of skimming is to grasp
the essential points and
structure rather than to
understand every single word
or nuance.

Skimming
Skimming is reading quickly
to get a general idea of the
text.
With skimming, your overall
understanding is reduced
because you don't read
everything.

SCANNING02

Scanning
Scanning is a reading technique
used to locate specific
information quickly within a
text. Unlike skimming, which
focuses on understanding the
main ideas, scanning involves
searching for particular details,
such as names, dates, numbers,
or keywords,without reading
everything around them.

EXTENSIVE03

EXTENSIVE READING
Extensive reading is a reading
approach focused on reading
large amounts of material for
general understanding,
enjoyment, and overall
language development, rather
than for analyzing every detail
or studying specific content.

INTENSIVE04

INTENSIVE READING
Intensive reading is a focused
and in-depth approach to
reading that emphasizes careful
examination of a short text to
understand its details,
vocabulary, structure, and
meaning.

INTENSIVE READING
Unlike extensive reading, which
prioritizes volume and overall
comprehension, intensive
reading involves close analysis,
often with the purpose of
studying, analyzing, or learning
specific content.
