What is It
Reading Approach:
Teachers use reading approach as one of the methods in teaching English. This
approach is one way of solving students’ 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 different 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.
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 a speed
three to four times faster than regular reading. People often skim when they have
lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. 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 for 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 of reading. The reader’s 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.
