Values
Kahlil Gibran
A man unearthed a marble statue while plowing in his field. It was very
beautiful. He took it to a collector who loved all beautiful things and offered it for
sale. The collector bought it for a large price.
As the man walked home with his money, he said to himself, “How much
life this money means! How can anyone give all this for a dead, carved stone buried
in the earth for a thousand years?”
The collector was looking at his statue. He said, “It is mine, all mine! What
a beauty! What a life! The dream of what a soul! How can anyone give all this
money, dead and dreamless?”
What is It
How did you feel while doing the previous activities? Did you enjoy the previous
activities? If you find the activities enjoyable and easy, it means the activities helped
you realize that reading is always 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 – skimming, scanning, and intensive reading.
Skimming
When you skim, you should remember that it is reading swiftly or glancing
quickly through a book or an article to find facts. Through skimming you can find key
ideas, determine an author’s purpose in writing an article, or see if a book or article
contains the information you are looking for. It is a special kind of reading. 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. But until you
find it you should do the following:
1. Read rapidly.
2. Keep going, don’t look back.
3. Slide over unimportant words.
4. Do not try to remember everything, but just be content to go after your
special purpose.
5. Be sure you understand the purpose of the reading or the questions that
are to be answered.
6. Stop all hurry and read with great care the moment you find the right spot.
Scanning
You have learned in the previous activity that scanning is a reading technique
used to look for specific information. It could be in an encyclopedia, a newspaper,
index, or other materials. Scanning is also used to discover the general organization
or framework of a literary article, or to preview an article to see if it is worth reading
more carefully.
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.

Intensive Reading
If the first two reading styles were rapid reading, this one is serious. 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.
3
Intensive reading is deconstructing a reading material with the objective of
absorbing as much meaning from it as possible. 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. Remember, it’s
intensive!

Activity 4: Andy-Diagram
Complete the diagram by answering the questions about how Andy study
for a test. Scan the text below to help you find the answers. Copy the diagram and
write your answers in your English notebook.
Andy played basketball first for an hour after supper. He knows that he can
never study well right after he has eaten. By eight o’clock, Andy was back in his
room, seated in a straight chair at his desk. The window was open, and the desk
lamp and ceiling light were both turned on.
And how does Andy usually study? He has written down his assignment, so
he can begin right away. He decides what he will study first and starts reading the
new chapter followed by a review of his notes on the previous chapters. He skims
through the new chapter by reading the introduction, subheads, first sentence in
every paragraph, and conclusion. In his first quick reading, Andy writes the
important words, formulas, and phrases in his notebook titled “Notes on Chapter
Three.” Then he reads the chapter carefully.
5
As he reads, he looks for the main idea in each paragraph. He adds these
to his notes and summarizes them in his own words. Andy will be able to use these
notes to review for the final exams. He does not have to read the previous chapters
in detail because he has made notes on these chapters several weeks before. After
finishing the new chapter, Andy writes a short summary of the entire chapter. He
easily answers all of the study questions at the end of the chapter.
Next, Andy skims through the previous chapters assigned. He reads the
introduction, subheads, first sentences in each paragraph, and conclusions. Then
he reads his notes on these two chapters, and last, he reads the notes he has
taken in the new chapter. Andy tries to imagine what questions the teacher will ask
in the test. Satisfied that he knows the material well, Andy goes to bed. A good
night’s sleep will make him alert for the test the next day.
Reread the text ‘How to Study Effectively’ and complete the flowchart below
with the steps Andy took to study. Copy the flowchart and write your answers in your
English notebook.

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.
