RAPID READING(Speed Reading) – the most commonly used term – usually involves techniques for moving the

eyes faster in order to gather information more quickly. This might include 'skimming' (glancing quickly down the
page to get the message and see what it's about) or 'scanning' (looking for specific information)

SKIMMING - is reading a text quickly to get a general idea of meaning. It can be contrasted with scanning, which
is reading in order to find specific information, e.g. figures or names.

MAIN IDEA -is the most important part of the story. The main idea helps readers understand what the story is mainly
about. The main idea may be stated in the first or last sentence. Look for clue words that are used repeatedly.

SCANNING - is reading a text quickly in order to find specific information, e.g. figures or names. It can be
contrasted with skimming, which is reading quickly to get a general idea of meaning.

Previewing is a strategy that readers use to recall prior knowledge and set a purpose
for reading. It calls for readers to skim a text before reading, looking for various features
and information that will help as they return to read it in detail later.
Literal meaning is what the text describes as happening in the story. This level of understanding provides the
foundation for more advanced comprehension. Inferential meaning involves taking the information provided in the
text and using it to determine what the text means but doesn't directly state.

Summarizing teaches students how to discern the most important ideas in a


text, how to ignore irrelevant information, and how to integrate the central
ideas in a meaningful way. Teaching students to summarize improves their
memory for what is read.

Paraphrasing is when you take an author's ideas and put them into your own
words to restate the information in a new way. ... Paraphrasing is a way to
see whether you have really understood what the author is
saying. Examples include writing a sentence into your own words, or a
summary of authored information.
Inferential comprehension is the ability to process written information and understand the underlying meaning of the
text. This information is then used to infer or determine deeper meaning that is not explicitly
stated. Inferential comprehension requires readers to: combine ideas. draw conclusions

Critical reading is a more ACTIVE way of reading. It is a deeper and more complex engagement with a
text. Critical reading is a process of analyzing, interpreting and, sometimes, evaluating. When we read critically, we
use our critical thinking skills to QUESTION both the text and our own reading of it.
