Reading
TOP-DOWN
READING --
Approaching
a text on the basis of prior content, language, or textual schemata that the
reader might have with regard to that particular text.
BOTTOM-UP
--
Focusing
exclusively on what is in the text itself, and especially on the words and
sentences in the text. Also
called text-based or data-driven reading.
SKIMMING
--
Inspecting
a text rapidly with occasional periods of close inspection, i.e., quickly
running one's eyes over the text to get the gist.
SCANNING
--
Reading in
order to locate a specific symbol or group of symbols (e.g., a date or a name
of a person or place); quickly searching for some particular piece of
information.
RECEPTIVE
/ INTENSIVE READING --
Careful
reading aimed at discovering exactly what the author seeks to convey; often
reading for information; readers need to understand linguistic and semantic
detail and pay close attention to the text.
EXTENSIVE
READING --
Often
reading for pleasure; readers need not understand all details of the text;
speed and skill in getting the gist are most important.
