Mastering Reading Strategies: Global, Scanning and Intensive Reading

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to differentiate between global, scanning, and intensive reading and use them effectively.

Explain the learning objective and its importance to the students. Encourage them to stay engaged and ask questions.

What do you already know about different reading strategies?

Global Reading

Global reading is used to get an overall understanding of a text. It involves reading quickly and focusing on the main ideas and the general message of the text.

Explain the concept of global reading, give examples and encourage students to practice it with a short text.

Scanning

Scanning is used to find specific information in a text. It involves reading quickly and looking for keywords or phrases.

Explain the concept of scanning, give examples and encourage students to practice it with a short text.

Intensive Reading

Intensive reading is used to gain a deep understanding of a text. It involves reading slowly and carefully, and analyzing the text in detail.

Explain the concept of intensive reading, give examples and encourage students to practice it with a short text.

When to Use Global Reading

Global reading is best used when you need to quickly get an overview of a text and understand its main ideas.

Explain when global reading is most effective and give examples of situations where it can be used.

When to Use Scanning

Scanning is best used when you need to find specific information in a text, such as a name, date, or statistic.

Explain when scanning is most effective and give examples of situations where it can be used.

When to Use Intensive Reading

Intensive reading is best used when you need to gain a deep understanding of a text, such as when studying for an exam or conducting research.

Explain when intensive reading is most effective and give examples of situations where it can be used.

Practice Time

Distribute a short text to the students and ask them to use the three reading strategies to read it. Then, ask them to share their findings with the class.

Provide a short text for the students and give clear instructions on how to practice the reading strategies. Encourage students to participate and ask questions.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
