Reading can be classified according to the rate of speed at which a person reads as well as to his purpose in reading. Here are the different kinds of reading:
1.Skimming is reading by the sign posts or clues in the selection. It is fast reading in which the reader reads headings and topic sentences and spot-reads parts of paragraphs. It gives the reader an overview of the material.
2.Scanning is glancing through a page to locate a particular kind of information. It requires the reader first to identify key words or phrases related to the information sought and then focus attention on just those words as he glances over a page.
3.Idea reading is rapid reading of the main idea. The eyes catch large phrases at each glance and register in the brain only the most significant words in those phrases. Idea reading means making quick decisions, as to the importance of the different clues and rapidly associating them with ideas assimilated in previous experiences.
4.Explorative reading is done when one aims to get a fairly accurate picture of a whole presentation of ideas. It requires more concentration.
5. Study reading is characterize as the learner gets maximum understanding of the main idea and their relationships.
6.Critical reading is the reader stops to consider the facts carefully. It is not necessary to read fast because rapid reading of the main idea might lead to false conclusions.
7.Analytical reading is the type that demands careful attention to each word and its relative importance in relation to other words in the sentence or paragraph.
Those are the kinds of reading that probably you do or practice every time you do research or prepare for a test or a talk.
