    There are four main types of reading: skimming, scanning, intensive, and extensive. Skimming provides an overview without depth, scanning finds specific facts, and intensive reading involves learning vocabulary and memorizing content. Extensive reading is the most effective type, where the reader critically engages with content in depth, discusses it with others, and writes about what they learned. The document also defines scanning, skimming, intensive and extensive reading and provides an example of an intensive reading task.
