1. Use appropriate reading strategies to meet one’s purpose (e.g. scanning, skimming, close
reading, etc.)
Three main types of reading styles:

Skimming
Scanning
Intensive reading
Skimming
When you skim, you should remember that it is reading swiftly or glancing quickly through a
book or an article to find facts. Through skimming you can find key ideas, determine an author’s
purpose in writing an article, or see if a book or article contains the information you are looking
for. It is a special kind of reading. When you skim, allow your eyes to wander until you find the
portion you are seeking. When you find that portion, read more carefully and more slowly. But
until you find it you should do the following:
1. Read rapidly.
2. Keep going, don’t look back.
3. Slide over unimportant words.
4. Do not try to remember everything, but just be content to go after your special purpose.
5. Be sure you understand the purpose of the reading or the questions that are to be answered.
6. Stop all hurry and read with great care the moment you find the right spot.
Scanning
Scanning is a reading technique used to look for specific information. It could be in an
encyclopedia, a newspaper, index, or other materials. Scanning is also used to discover the
general organization or framework of a literary article, or to preview an article to see if it is worth
reading more carefully. These reminders will help you when you scan.
1. Decide what kind of information you are looking for.
2. Look only for the information. Do not read every word in every sentence.
3. Let your eyes flow down the page following a set of patterns. Read around a word that
catches your eye.
4. Stop at the sentence which you think has the answer. Read the sentence to be certain that
you have the correct answer.
5. Write the answer.
Intensive Reading

If the first two reading styles were rapid reading, this one is serious. To read intensively is to
learn from a chosen reading material. Doing serious reading books, periodicals, and other
library materials for research work or a report is the main concern of this kind of reading.
Intensive reading is deconstructing a reading material with the objective of absorbing as much
meaning from it as possible. This reading style involves determining the elements of a literary
piece. When you are asked to give a theme of a story, intensive reading is highly recommended
because it requires higher comprehension and deeper analysis.
When you read intensively, do the following.
1. Use guide questions for you to better understand the text you are reading.
2. Keep yourself away from anything that might disturb you.
3. Think only of the things related to the text because other thoughts might bother you which
may result to lack of focus.
4. If you do not have a good retention ability, taking important points from the text is a big help.
5. If you still do not understand the text, read it again. Remember, it’s intensive!

1. Use appropriate reading strategies to meet one’s purpose (e.g. scanning, skimming, close
reading, etc.)
ACIVITY 1
Read the passage below.
The Honeybee
1. There are many types of wild bees but the honeybee is the most known to everyone.
2. The honeybee is useful to man because of the honey and beeswax it produces, but it is of
even greater importance for its pollination of flowers. When insects like honeybees carry pollen
from one flower to the pistil of another flower, pollination takes place. This results in seed
formation among flowering plants.
3. The bodies of the bees have certain adaptations which help them obtain food and protect
themselves. The bees’ bodies are adapted for gathering and carrying nectar and pollen from the
flowers. They are also equipped with a stinger that is very effective as a defense weapon. This
is made up of two barbed darts that are operated by strong muscles.
4. Bees live together in hives and depend upon each other for different kinds of jobs. Three
kinds of bees are found in the hive. The workers, the drones, and the queen. The queen lives in
the center of the hive. She lays the eggs. The males called drones fertilize the queen’s eggs.
The worker bees which are all infertile females perform all the other activities of the colony.
5. The honeybee, like some insects, goes through the four stages known as complete
metamorphosis. The egg hatches into a larva which is fed and cared for by the workers until it
goes into the pupa or resting stage. After a few days in the pupa stage, the adult bee emerges.
Directions: Scan the statements from the text above. If you find the statements in the text, write
them down in the TEXT IN box. If you cannot find them in the text, write them down in the TEXT
OUT box.
1. All the worker bees are sterile.

2. After mating, the drones may help the workers perform their activities.

4. The honeybee has four life stages.
5. The bee’s body is adapted for obtaining food and protecting itself.
6. The behavior of honeybees shows that they are more intelligent than other kinds of insects
