Thank you, Mr.

Buce, for the continuation of our topic, let us now proceed to the other 2 types of
reading styles which is the speed reading and intensive reading.

Speed reading refers to a collection of techniques and methods used to increase reading speed while
maintaining or even improving comprehension. Here are some examples of speed-reading techniques:

Skimming: This involves quickly scanning through the text to identify the main ideas and key points. This
can be done by reading headings, subheadings, and the first sentence of each paragraph.

Scanning: This involves searching for specific information within the text by moving quickly through it
and looking for keywords and phrases.

Rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP): This involves presenting words or phrases one at a time at a
rapid pace, which forces the reader to focus on each individual word rather than the text as a whole.

Chunking: This involves grouping words or phrases together to increase reading speed. This can be done
by reading multiple words at a time rather than focusing on individual words.

Eliminating subvocalization: Subvocalization is the habit of pronouncing words silently in your head
while reading. Eliminating this habit can significantly increase reading speed.

Using a guide: This involves using a pen or finger to guide your eyes across the page while reading,
which can help increase speed and reduce the tendency to regress or reread sections.

It's important to note that while speed reading can be a helpful tool for increasing reading speed and
efficiency, it's not always appropriate for every type of reading material or task. Some types of reading,
such as literature or complex technical material, may require slower, more deliberate reading in order to
fully comprehend and appreciate the content.

INTENSIVE READING

 To read with full concentration and complete focus.

To read with full concentration means to give the text one's undivided attention and to eliminate
distractions that might interfere with understanding. This type of reading requires the reader to be
present in the moment and to focus on the text without allowing their mind to wander or become
distracted by outside factors. It can be challenging to maintain this level of concentration for extended
periods of time, but it is a skill that can be developed with practice.

Complete focus means that the reader is fully engaged with the text and actively processing the
information presented. This involves not only reading the words on the page but also analyzing the
meaning and structure of the text. When reading with complete focus, the reader is able to identify key
ideas and themes, make connections between different parts of the text, and draw inferences based on
the information presented.

Examples of intensive reading:

 A literature student reads a Shakespearean play and analyzes the themes, language, and
characters in great detail.
  A law student reads a complex legal case and analyzes the arguments, precedents, and
implications of the ruling.
 A history student reads a primary source document and analyzes the context, language, and
perspectives of the author in order to gain insight into a particular period or event.

In all of these examples, the reader is focused on understanding the text in great detail and may take
notes, highlight important passages, and ask questions in order to deepen their comprehension.
