MAIN BODY
1. Strategies used to improve reading skills
There are many strategies that can be used by reader to improve reading skills. Out of those
strategies some are:
Skimming:
It is one of best reading strategy. As per this strategy the main idea is being looked by the
reader from the entire text. This strategy will not involve detailed reading of the text. While
pursuing this strategy reader will not read the detailed text, instead a thorough reading will be
adopted by the reader which will help it knows the main idea behind the text. This strategy is
usually being adopted to read the informal information like newspaper, magazines. This strategy
will not only help in developing reading skill but it will also help in saving time of reader
(Aritonang, Lasmana and Kurnia, 2019). This strategy is usually used because it is easy to be
performed this method. While executing this strategy the reader will pickup keywords and
concepts of the text. Those key concepts and words are the representation of the entire text.
Scanning:
It is also a common and useful strategy. In this strategy reader will scan the entire text in
this mind and then interpret accordingly. This method is something different from skimming. In
this strategy the text and its meaning will be studied in detail. This is usually adopted to know
the meaning of some concept and term. In order to create understanding about that concept the
reader will read everything associated with text (Wahyuningsih, 2018). Thus, it would not be
wrong to said that this strategy will not only develop reading ability among reader but it also
helps in developing understanding level about the text. This strategy is also being used to read
facts and figures. It is usually adopted while researching something.
