Writing a Close Analysis

and Critical Interpretation


of Literary Text Applying
a Reading Approach
What is reading?
-an action or skill or reading
written or printed matter
silently or aloud.
GUSTAVE FLAUBERT
“Do not read, as children do, to amuse
yourself, or like the ambitious, for the
purpose of instruction. No, read in
order to live.”
READING APPROACH
• Teachers use reading approach as one of the method in teaching
English. This approach is one way of solving student's reading
problems. Students are demanded to read more to improve their
knowledge and get new ideas. Inferencing, guessing and
predicting are important skills developed in reading. By reading,
students will know about the different of culture by reading
across cultural understanding, and they will learn how to
pronounce the words correctly. In reading approach, students are
expected to improve their English skills.
3 TYPES OF
READING • SCANNING

• SKIMMING

• EXTENSIVE
READING
SCANNING
• Scanning is quickly reading a text to get the
summary of it. It is technique where in students
search for keywords or ideas. Scanning involves
moving eyes quickly down the page seeking
specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used
for the reader to find answers to questions. Once a
student scanned the document, they will go back
and skim it.
SKIMMING
• In skimming, the main idea of a text is quickly identified. The goal is to
read shorter texts to extract accurate detailed information. Skimming is
done at speed three to four times faster than regular reading. People often
skim when they have lost of materials to read in a limited amount of time.
Some students will read the first and last paragraphs using headings,
summarizes and other organizers as they move down the page or screen.
Some might also read the title, subtitles, subheadings, and illustrations.
Other people consider reading the first sentence of each paragraph.
Skimming works well to find dates, names, and places. It might be used to
review graphs, tables, and charts. This technique is useful when you are
seeking specific information rather than reading comprehension.
EXTENSIVE READING

• Extensive reading is an approach to language learning, including foreign


language learning, by means of a large amount reading. The readers view and
review of unfamiliar words in a specific context will allow the reader to infer
the word's meaning, to learn unknown words. Extensive Reading is the free
reading of books and other written material that is not too difficult for readers.
Extensive Reading is sometimes called Free Voluntary Reading.
