Hello, dear learners! Good
GUIDE CARD day! How are you? I will be your
guide again for a new learning.

At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:

EN7RC-I-a-7: Use appropriate reading style (scanning,
skimming, speed reading, intensive reading, etc.) for one’s
purpose. Scan for specific information. Scan for specific
information.

Reading is one of the skills that you, as student,

must develop. How do you read selection or text
assigned to you? How do you get information in the
text you are reading? Do you know that there are
different types of reading?

Today, we will discuss the types or reading. Are

you ready?

There are four types of reading: skimming, scanning, extensive reading and
intensive reading.

1. Skimming
Skimming is fast reading of a material
when you know nothing about the material. It is How do we
used to quickly gather the most important skim?
information in the text.
Skimming is done at a speed 3-4 times
faster than normal reading. It is used when we
have lots of material to read in limited amount of
time.
 Steps on how to skim:
1. Read the title.
2. Read the introduction.
3. Read all the subheadings.
4. Read first and last sentence in every paragraph.
5. Go through the text looking for clues as to content and information.
6. Always read last paragraph.

The following are examples of skimming:

 The Newspaper (to quickly to get the general news of the day)
 Magazines (to quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail)
 Business and travel brochures (to quickly get informed of the business and the place)
2. Scanning
Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. When you scan, you look
for a specific fact or piece of information without reading everything.
It involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and
phrases.

How to scan?
1. Remember the information what you are looking for.
2. Don’t get distracted by other pieces of information.
3. Run your eyes over several lines at a time.
4. When you find the information you are looking for, focus your eyes and attention
there and read the entire sentence.

Examples of Scanning:
 A conference guide
 A train/airplane schedule

3. Extensive Reading
An extensive reading is used to get general understanding of a subject. It is reading
for your own pleasure. Common examples of extensive reading are storytelling, reading a
magazine, reading fiction books.

4. Intensive Reading
An intensive reading is used on
shorter texts in order to get specific
information. It is reading in detail with
specific learning. We use intensive reading
to grasp the details of a specific situation.
It is important to understand each word,
number or fact that you get from the
material or text.
Can you identify now the
differences of each type of

EVALUATION CARD

A. Directions: Read the text below. Then, answer the questions given. Write the letter of
your answer.
What is a phobia?

A phobia is an intense fear or feeling of anxiety that occurs only in a particular situation
that frightens you.
This might be something as seemingly logical as a fear of heights, or as illogical as a fear
of the color green. At other times you don’t feel anxious. For example, if you have a phobia of
spiders (as millions of people do), you only feel anxious when there’s a spider around, otherwise
you feel fine.
About one in ten people has a significant phobia, although few people seek treatment.
People develop phobias to all sorts of things. Each phobia has its own name. Some (of a
very
long list) include:
– fear of mice
– fear of bald people
– fear of dust
– fear of choking or smothering
– fear of childbirth
– fear of fog
– fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth
Phobias make people avoid situations they know will make them anxious, but this can
make the phobia worse. A person’s life can become increasingly dominated by the precautions
they take to avoid a situation they fear. You may know there’s no real danger and you may feel
embarrassed by your fear, but you’re still unable to control it. It’s better to confront your fears,
even if it’s in a very careful way or with the help of a trained therapist.
A phobia is more likely to go away if it began after a distressing or traumatic event.
What’s the treatment?

Cognitive behavioral therapy – a ‘talking treatment’ where you learn all about the thing or
situation you are scared of and how to change your behavior – has a high success rate in
phobias. Your GP can refer you.

Size matters
Here’s something to think about the next time you go shopping. Have you ever noticed
how many trolleys are available when you go to the supermarket? In my experience, it seems like
hundreds! But how about the number of hand baskets? Invariably I struggle to find even one,
especially when I only need a few items. Why might this be the case? Well it seems to be a tactic
used to encourage us to buy more. If you are walking around with an empty trolley, you are
more tempted to fill it, so if you a planning on only doing a quick shop, always try to find a
basket. It will be lighter, easier to use and is sure to save you money!

Questions:
1. What can you find in large numbers at a supermarket?
