 Selecting
information
How do we read to
select important
information?
According to Hughes (2007), “Reading is a complex
interaction between the text, the reader and the
purposes for reading, which are shaped by the
reader’s prior knowledge and experiences, the
reader’s knowledge about reading and writing
language and the reader’s language community which
is culturally and socially situated.” Recall an experience when you

Chavez (2017) noted, “While the NBDB study did not pinpoint
any reason for the decline of the reading habits of Filipinos, the
consensus among experts is that social media, television and the new
lifestyle among the young have contributed to their waning interest in
reading. Experts believe that the development of a reading habit
among the youth is an important feature towards a literate, progressive
and caring society since reading encourages learning and develops
creativity among them.”

(an excerpt)
 How should we read when
selecting information from a
text?
 Which type of text do
you find difficult to select
the important
information of ?
1. RAPID READING
- aims to locate specific information or main ideas in a very
short span of time

Types:
1.1 skimming (getting the general idea)
1.2 scanning (looking for specific information)
 SKIMMING: What is the general or main idea of the following paragraph?
Neuroscience and studies of positive psychology prove
that happiness is a key driver and precursor of success, with
two decades of research backing this up.
One reason is that positive feelings make the brain work
better. Positive emotion triggers the release of serotonin
and dopamine, which significantly enhance motor control,
motivation, memory, problem-solving, mental focus and the
ability to process multiple concepts simultaneously. So,
positive thinking really can make you more successful.
