Correct Answer - Option 3 : silent reading and reading aloud

Reading can be defined as the ability to make sense of written or printed words. The reader uses the symbols to activate the information from his memory and subsequently uses this information to arrive at a plausible interpretation of the written words.

  • Reading skill is an active skill that includes perception, recognition, association, understanding, organization, and finding meaning. There are different kinds of reading skills which include extensive, intensive, etc.

Types of Reading Skills:

INTENSIVE READING 
  • It involves reading by the students to speak English correctly.
  • This type of reading mainly increases the vocabulary, knowledge, and command over English of students.
  • It enables the students to master the language both linguistically and literally. 
  • It includes aloud reading skills which are also known as  ‘oral reading’.
    • It enables the student to read with correct pronunciation, articulation, intonation, stress, and rhythm.
    • The students try to understand the meaning by reading loudly with appropriate expressions.
EXTENSIVE READING
  • This type of reading is mainly done to understand the meaning of the concept as quickly and efficiently as possible.
  • It also develops the habit of silent reading and increasing passive vocabulary.
  • Extensive reading can be done for pleasure and to concentrate upon the context thus developing the skill of making notes of relevant information for future use.
  • Silent reading skill is a part of extensive reading.
    • It includes students reading without making sounds audible to others so that they may not get disturbed.
    • The students read at their own pace with a purpose to comprehend the written text.

Hence, it is concluded that the two kinds of reading skills are silent reading and reading aloud.

  • Visual, Verbal, Slow and Fast reading are types of reading, not Skills of reading. The reading can be slow and fast which mostly depends on the purpose of reading.
