Strategies for Reading.pngLearn about strategies for reading, what is meant by skimming and scanning, how to read something in detail and how to find what you need from a text. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.
Introduction
In this course we will think about different reading styles that can be used, and which style might be best for finding what you need in a text.If we are flicking through a newspaper, we might only scan the occasional article to see if it looks interesting. If we are reading a book, we are likely to read it in a more detailed way, as we will be paying close attention to the characters and what they are doing.
Reading strategies are basically the different ways you can read a text.
A text could be anything from a newspaper article to a novel, or a long story. When we are reading different things we will probably read at different levels – meaning we will concentrate more or less – depending on the type of text we are reading.
