READING APPROACH
• Teachers use reading approach as
one of the method in teaching
English. This approach is one way of
solving student's reading problems.
Students are demanded to read
more to improve their knowledge
and get new ideas. Inferencing,
guessing and predicting are
important skills developed in
reading.
• By reading, students will know about
the difference of culture by reading
across cultural understanding, and
they will learn how to pronounce the
words correctly. In reading approach,
students are expected to improve
their English skills.
3 TYPES OF
READING • SCANNING

• SKIMMING

• EXTENSIVE
READING
SKIMMING
• In skimming, the main idea of a
text is quickly identified. The
goal is to read shorter texts to
extract accurate detailed
information. Skimming is done at
speed three to four times faster
than regular reading. People
often skim when they have lost
of materials to read in a limited
amount of time.
SKIMMING
• Some students will read the first and last
paragraphs using headings, summarizes
and other organizers as they move down
the page or screen. Some might also read
the title, subtitles, subheadings, and
illustrations. Other people consider
reading the first sentence of each
paragraph. Skimming works well to find
dates, names, and places. It might be
used to review graphs, tables, and
charts. This technique is useful when you
are seeking specific information rather
than reading comprehension.
SCANNING
• Scanning is quickly reading a text to
get the summary of it. It is a
technique wherein students search
for keywords or ideas. Scanning
involves moving eyes quickly down
the page seeking specific words and
phrases. Scanning is also used for
the reader to find answers to
questions. Once a student scanned
the document, they will go back and
skim it.
EXTENSIVE READING

• Extensive reading is an approach to language learning,


including foreign language learning, by means of a large
amount reading. The readers view and review of unfamiliar
words in a specific context will allow the reader to infer the
word's meaning, to learn unknown words. Extensive Reading is
the free reading of books and other written material that is not
too difficult for readers. Extensive Reading is sometimes called
Free Voluntary Reading.
