(Chettri & Rout, 2013) If an individual reads habitually, that is frequently, then this activity is called reading habit. Reading habits are measured in two ways. The first is that how much time one spends on reading. The second is the measure of the number of reading materials the individual reads. The higher the two measures, the higher are the individual’s reading habits. Reading habit must be introduced in child’s development process during the early stages because reading habits are essential for personality and cognitive development.

Intensive reading helps in attaining knowledge of vocabulary and idioms. Complicated and complex reading materials are used in this type of reading, so that the reader can extract new knowledge from it. The aim behind this reading is to understand the text completely, with a detailed analysis of the meaning of the text.
As said by Maija MacLeod (n.d.), the materials used during intensive reading may be short texts, with a certain difficulty level which is chosen by the teacher. The skills developed through this type of reading include fluent and rapid reading, quick interpretation of texts and a steady vocabulary structure. It enhances the students’ command on the language and increases the degree of comprehension amongst …show more content…

Scanning requires quick eye movements by the reader, in which the eye hovers along the page searching for a specific piece of information. This process is used when only a specific piece of information is needed by the reader. It is not recommended to use this process when the reader requires complete understanding of the material.
4) Skimming
According to Abby Marks Beale (2007), skimming is very helpful while reading long reports and articles, especially those which have to be read in a rush. The reader can read the first line of a paragraph, known as a topic sentence, through which he is able to get an idea of the whole paragraph. After reading the first line, he can move his eyes towards the whole paragraph, searching for relevant bits of information or words which may catch his eye. Skimming helps in reducing the time duration of reading and is helpful when a person is searching for a specific piece of information.

    Those who were born with a love to read, will always read, no matter what information is thrown at them. Vice versa, those that do not particularly like to read may be affected by their use of the internet, or just never read for understanding, because they dislike reading. Another part that could affect someone’s reading habits is their job. For instance the writer’s reading habits were changed, because his job requires him to obtain information to present. When the information became more readily available, it was easy for him to skim and pick out what he wanted to use in his papers instead of only having a select few of informational sources to use.

  • Summary: Stupid Lady From Denver

    Previously, in Dr. Boyce’s literacy class, we rigorously studied and learned how to apply reading strategies to specific texts. Thus, the text ‘Stupid Lady From Denver’ by Chris Tovani (2004) struck me as especially familiar. Everything that was stated in the article brought back memory after memory of all the various reading strategies we covered last semester. Tovani (2004) states that “Good readers separate themselves from struggling readers when they recognize that they are confused and do something to repair meaning”, which rings especially true to my memory as well (p. 5). She encouraged us to seek out challenging portions of the text that confused us, use our marks to label what was unknown, and then use the strategies such as ReQuest,
