Question

independent practice
which reading style would you use when looking through a newspaper to look at the days headlines?
a. close reading
b. skimming
c. recitation
d. scanning

Explanation:

• Option A: Close reading is a detailed, in - depth analysis of a text, which is not suitable for just looking at headlines.
• Option B: Skimming involves quickly glancing over a text to get a general idea or to find main points (like headlines in a newspaper). This matches the action of looking at a newspaper's headlines.
• Option C: Recitation is the act of repeating something, not a reading style for getting headlines.
• Option D: Scanning is used to find specific information (like a particular word or fact) in a text, not for getting an overview of headlines.

Answer:

B. skimming
