Intensive and extensive reading

Intensive and extensive reading

1. Is a reading for a high degree of comprehension and retention over a long period of time.

   • principals of intensive reading
     • Overview
       • Surveying & Skimming
         • we only read the more important parts.
         • We would next read the headings. When headings are missing or inadequate, or where unfamiliar material demands a more complete overview, we would resort to skimming with its greater attention to topic and summary sentences, and other cues within the paragraphs.
     • Planning Purpose:means to take a few seconds before you begin your reading to formalize or clearly state to yourself what you wish to get from the reading. This will give us the most useful "mental set" for getting the information we need.
     • Reading: means not only the familiar line-by-line reading, but reading that is guided by our purpose and questions.
     • Understanding: The end product of the steps in intensive reading is to be sure that you understand every important question. If you omit a point, or answer a question incorrectly, you should go back and review that point immediately

2. Extensive

   • The aim of Extensive Reading is to help the student become better at the skill of reading rather than reading to study the language itself. When students are reading extensively they : they read quickly and enjoyably with adequate comprenhension so they dont need a dictionary
   • When students ‘learn to read’ (Extensive Reading), they are practicing the skill of reading by reading for information – reading a story book for example with the aim of enjoying the reading without consciously knowing they are learning.
   • The aim is to build reading fluency - not necessarily to learn new things (although they may learn some), and to deepen their knowledge of already met language items and to get a better sense of how these fit together communicatively
