Types of reading
Scanning Skimming Extensive Reading Intensive Reading
Skimming Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Technique Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming.

Scanning Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Technique Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning.
Examples of Scanning The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper. A train / airplane schedule A conference guide

Intensive reading Intensive reading is used on shorter texts in order to extract specific information. It includes very close accurate reading for detail.

Comparison of efficient and slow readers

Efficient reader
Reads ideas. Reads multi-word phrases. Visualizes ideas. Sets a purpose. Adjusts reading speed to need. Keeps reading. Has a large vocabulary in that subject area. Practices speeded reading daily. Marks text for memory. Sorts materials as critical, interesting, or trash.
Slow reader
Reads words. Reads one word at a time. Vocalizes words. Reads to "the end of the book." Reads everything slowly and deliberately. Re-reads sentences to be sure of understanding. Has a limited vocabulary in that area. Rarely attempts speeded reading. Leaves pages pristine and clean. Reads everything irregularly.
Speed Reading The average reading speed is often held to be around 265 wpm. Speed Reading can help us to read and understand written information much more quickly. To read large volumes of information quickly Save time by speed reading If the reader doesnt know anything about a subject, then it will be difficult for him to grab the information 7516324 This is hard to read and remember. 751-6324 This is easier because of chunking. 123-4567 This is easy to read because of prior knowledge and structure
Speed Reading is based on the following principles: Wider visual span seeing more words per fixation. Minimizing vocalization (mouthing the word) and sub-vocalization ( saying the word in your mind) of the words. Being familiar with the topic and terminology of the subject material. Know why you are reading the material motivation increases attention span. Good visual skills well coordinated eye teaming and focusing skills.
SQ3R Technique
SQ3R is a five-step reading strategy. The name is an abbreviation of the five steps of the strategy: Survey Question Read (at your own pace): Recite/write Review
Quoting, Paraphrasing, Summarising

Quotations must be identical to the original, using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author. Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly. Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material.
