Introductory Message
For learner

Welcome to the English 7 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Using

Appropriate Reading Styles for One’s Purpose!
Hello, learners! I am inviting you to begin your journey to the wonderful world of
reading. Reading is fun. It allows you to know what you need to know; takes you to places
you’ve never been and lets you meet different people at the comfort of your home. Through
reading, you get to travel and see the wonders of the Philippines and the world! You can also
meet the Philippine heroes you look up to, your most-liked author and even your favorite
actors and actresses without spending a peso on a plane ticket.
Reading is instrumental. It does not only let you travel, see things and meet people,
but also allows you to learn new things and understand the world around you. It also gives
you the opportunity to enhance other skills. By becoming a better reader, you get to be a
better speaker because it is also much the same as having a conversation with the author.
So, you see, you are not just simply reading, but also multitasking – traveling,
comprehending, and communicating, all at the same time.
As you read this module, you will learn the three basic reading styles and how these
styles are used appropriately. Each reading style is made easy and is provided with an
activity for you to work on to ensure that you understand the lesson. Brace yourself because
you are just about to start your journey in becoming a better reader!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be able to process the
contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.
This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

What is It

How did you feel while doing the previous activities? Did you have fun? If you
find the activities enjoyable and easy, it means that reading is fun!
What you did in Activity 1 was SCANNING, because you were looking for
specific words. In Activity 2, you were SKIMMING to answer the question number 1,
and you did INTENSIVE READING to answer questions 2 and 3.
 Different Reading Styles and When to Use Them

Today, you will learn the different reading styles and when to use them. There
are three main types of reading styles – scanning, skimming, and intensive reading.

Scanning
It is a reading technique used to look for specific information. It could be in an
encyclopedia, a newspaper, index, or other materials.

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.

Skimming
It is reading swiftly or glancing quickly through a book or an article to get the
general overview. Through skimming, you can find main ideas or determine an
author’s purpose in writing an article.
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.

These are some tips to help you when you skim:

1. Read rapidly.
2. Keep going, don’t look back.
3. Slide over unimportant words.
4. Focus on the general overview or the main idea of the
5. Be sure you understand the purpose of the reading or the questions that
are to be answered.

Intensive Reading
It is a reading style that needs full concentration and complete focus. 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.
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.

What I Can Do

Activity 7: Mean it in a Minute

Copy the words below and skim these words from the text “The Honeybee” found
on the next page. Take a minute to analyze the meaning of the words. Write its meaning
based on how it was used in the paragraph.

1. pollination -
2. workers -
3. drone -
4. queen -
5. hives -
 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.

Activity 8: Am I In or Out
Copy the T-Chart below. 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.
3. Only the queen lives inside the hive and the workers live outside the hive.
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 thanother
kinds of insects.
