This is the English Grade 7 Quarter 1 Module 10 self-learning module, “Reading Styles for One’s Purpose,” from DepEd SOCCSKSARGEN Region (Alternative Delivery Mode, First Edition, 2020). It is for Grade 7 learners studying at home or in class, and for the parents and teachers who guide them. After the module, learners can tell skimming from scanning and choose the right fast reading style for what they need to find in a text.
On this page 7 sections
What learners will learn
The module covers the competency EN7RC-I-a-7: scanning and skimming a text to find specific information. After the module, learners are expected to:
- define skimming and scanning;
- use reading styles; and
- practice scanning and skimming texts for information.
Lesson in this module
The module has one lesson, Lesson 1: Using Reading Styles for One’s Purpose. It explains why reading techniques matter, especially when time is short, such as during exams. It then teaches two fast reading styles through a TV guide, short articles, job ads, and a health text.
Reading speed, skimming, and scanning
The module defines reading speed as the rate at which a person reads written text, printed or electronic, in a set time. It is usually counted in words per minute. Skimming and scanning are both fast reading styles, but they serve different purposes.
Scanning: finding a specific detail
Scanning means looking through a text very quickly to find a specific detail. One example is searching a telephone directory for one person’s name and number. The module uses a TV 5 schedule to practice this. Tips on how to scan:
- Do not read every word. Let your eyes move quickly across the page until you find what you need.
- Use clues on the page, such as headings and titles. For example, the title of a table is found above it.
- If you are reading for study, think of or write down the questions you want answered first. This keeps your mind focused on the facts you need.
Skimming: getting the general idea
Skimming means looking over a text quickly to get its general idea. You do this by noticing titles, subtitles, subheadings, and illustrations. Tips on how to skim:
- Read the title, subtitles, and subheadings. In the module’s example, the title “Folk Dances of the Philippines” already tells you what the article is about.
- Look at the illustrations for more information about the topic.
- Read the first and last sentence of each paragraph.
- Do not read every word or every sentence.
The module also explains the main idea: the most important idea in a paragraph or passage. It gives the purpose and sets the direction of the text. In the lightning example, the first sentence states the main idea and the sentences after it support it.
Skimming and scanning compared
| Skimming | Scanning | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Get the general meaning of a text | Find a particular piece of information quickly |
| What you look at | Titles, subheadings, illustrations, first and last sentences | Key words, numbers, headings |
| Example from the module | Finding what an article is about | Finding a phone number or a TV show’s start time |
Both are fast reading styles, and both help readers understand a text.
Activities in the module
- What I Know: a 10-item pretest on skimming and scanning.
- What’s In: a review of phrases, clauses, and sentences, then the story “The Noisy Neighbor” with comprehension questions.
- What’s New: Activity 1, checking which items need fast reading, such as a bus timetable or a TV guide.
- What’s More: skimming five job advertisements and scanning them to match each job to the right person. A Venn diagram is used to compare skimming and scanning.
- What I Have Learned: completing “I learned that…” sentences.
- What I Can Do: answering questions on a passage about hand washing.
- Assessment: questions on a GMA TV guide and a 10-item test on an article about phobias.
- Additional Activities: a 20-item true or false test on the story “Mr Magicman.”
- My Treasure: a self-evaluation sheet for rating the ideas learned.
How to use this module
- Learners: Start with the pretest to check what you already know, then go through the parts in order. Write all answers in your notebook or on a separate sheet, not on the module. Answer keys are provided at the end, so check your work honestly after you finish each part. Ask your teacher or facilitator if any task is unclear.
- Parents: Help your child time short reading tasks, like finding a show in a TV guide or ingredients in a recipe. This shows when fast reading is useful.
- Teachers: The Notes to the Teacher ask you to stress that there are different reading techniques. Learners should know which one suits the reading task given by the text or by the teacher.

Lesson 1: Using Reading Styles for One’s Purpose
Reading is a very good habit that one needs to work on in life. Books might just be a piece of paper for some, but they are a whole lot more. Some believe that there is no better friend and companion than a book. Once you start reading, your learning and discovery will take you to a whole new world and through flipping its pages, you will surely get information and knowledge you need.
Learning the different reading techniques and when to use them is indeed important, especially under exam conditions when time constraints come into play and decisions need to be made depending on time availability and the importance of the task at hand. It is a great pleasure to sit and enjoy reading, for it is one of the most beautiful experiences one can have.
What’s In
Previously, you learned about phrases, clauses, and sentences. These are the things that you should always remember:
Phrases are groups of words that act as a part of speech but cannot stand alone as a sentence.
Clauses are groups of words that have a subject and a predicate.
Sentences expresses a complete thought or idea.
Phrases, clauses and sentences give way to a composition of ideas that create a reading passage. In other words, reading is comprised of reading clauses, phrases, and sentences.
Now, you will read a passage entitled “The Noisy Neighbor” and answer the questions that follow.
The Noisy Neighbor!
Barbara couldn’t take it anymore. Her upstairs neighbor was blasting his stereo again. She had asked him twice already to turn the volume down. The first time she asked, he was surprised. He said he didn’t know that she could hear his stereo.
“Yes,” she said, “it’s just like your stereo was in my living room. I can hear every note!”
He said he would keep it down. She hoped that he was telling the truth. Of course, he wasn’t. The very next day, he blasted his stereo. She marched upstairs to remind him of his promise. He said the volume was so low that he could barely hear it. She asked him to turn it lower. He said he would try. Barbara could swear that when she reentered her apartment, the music was louder than when she had walked upstairs.
So, this was at the third time. She took her baseball bat upstairs with her. She knocked very loudly on his door. When we opened the door, she creamed at him like a crazy person. She told him she would kill him if he didn’t turn the music down and keep it down. His eyes got big.
She went downstairs. She couldn’t hear a note.
I can’t believe I said that, she told herself.
Comprehension Check
What is the setting of the story (time and place)?
What would you do if your neighbor had loud music on and would not turn the volume down?
What is the lesson (moral) of the story?
Who are the characters in the story?
How did Barbara’s neighbor feel the first time she asked him to turn the music down?
Notes to the Teacher
The teacher should emphasize that there are different reading techniques and the students should be aware of which technique is most suited, depending on the reading task required by the text or by the teacher.
What’s New
The ability to read faster is a very important skill, especially for people who need to read a large amount of text every day. It allows the reader to grasp what is being read much faster and helps to cut down the time spent on reading and understanding the text. With speed reading, you can train yourself to stop vocalizing the words in your mind as you read, increase your comprehension and concentrate on what you are reading.
[illustration: notepad with the printed label “Take Note!”]
Reading speed is the rate at which a person reads written text (printed or electronic) in a specific unit of time. Reading speed is generally calculated by the number of words read per minute. Skimming and scanning are examples of fast reading styles.
Activity 1:
Directions: Put a check mark before the items that require fast reading. Do this in your notebook.
Examples: ✔ reading medicine label ✔ reading a restaurant’s menu
_____1. Identifying author’s purpose.
_____2. Looking up a specific phone number in a telephone directory.
_____3. A bus timetable
_____4. A fax at the office
_____5. An English grammar book
_____6. The TV guide for Friday evening
_____7. A novel
_____8. A recipe
_____9. A short story from your favorite author
_____10. A poem
If you were able to answer the activity correctly, Congratulations to you! Certainly, you are ready for the next phase of learning!
What is It
Books are your best friends. They are great knowledge dispenser. You can turn to them for entertainment, inspiration and most of all information.
How can you quickly identify the main idea of a text? When and how do you skim a text, and how does skimming differ from scanning?
Skimming and Scanning are examples of fast reading styles. When you look through a text very quickly to find specific details, it is called SCANNING. For example, when you are searching for a telephone number in a directory, you scan the page for the name of the specific person you are looking for.
The table below is a TV Guide. This will help you to understand the simplest ways on how to scan.
TV 5 Live Schedule
| Programs | Time Starts |
|---|---|
| Batibot | 6:30 |
| Codename Kids Next Door | 7:30 |
| Dexter’s Lab | 8:00 |
| Courage the Cowardly Dog | 8:30 |
| PowerPuff Girls (Tagalized) | 9:00 |
How to Scan?
✔ Don’t try to read every word. Instead let your eyes move quickly across the page until you find what you are looking for.
Question:
Which of the programs is on for the longest time?
This question focuses only on the longest program on air. So your eyes must focus on this.
Based on the TV Guide, the answer is Batibot.
✔ Use clues on the page, such as headings and titles, to help you.
Question:
What is the title of the table above? (This questions guide you to look for the title, and titles are always found above the table.
So, the answer must be TV 5 Live Schedule.
✔ If you are reading for study, start by thinking up or writing down some questions that you want to answer. Doing this can focus your mind and help you find the facts or information that you need more easily.
On the other hand, when you look over a text quickly, take note of titles, subtitles, subheadings, and illustrations to get the general idea of what text is about, it is called SKIMMING.
How to Skim?
✔ Read the title, subtitles and subheadings to find out what the text is about.
Question:
What is the article all about?
Folk Dances of the Philippines
Folk dancing and singing were very popular among the ancient Filipinos. History relates that when Magelan reached the Philippines on March 17, 1521, he was entertained by dancing native girls while young men played on what were thought to be “crude” musical instruments. These ancients’ musical instruments probably appeared crude to the Spaniards who were not familiar with them.
From the title itself, the article is all about Folk Dances of the Philippines. The title would surely give you a clue.
✔ Look at the illustrations to give you further information about the topic. ✔ Read the first and last sentence of each paragraph.
Question:
What is the main idea of this section?
It is often said that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, but this isn’t true. Go ask the forest rangers. Rangers who spend their summers as fire-fighters will tell you that every thundershower brings several bolts of lightning to their lookout stations.
Note:
The main idea is the most important, idea in a paragraph or passage. It gives the purpose and sets the direction of the paragraph or passage. Notice that the first sentence tells what the paragraph is about; the sentences that follow support the idea stated in the first sentence.
✔ Don’t read every word or every sentence.
By this time, you already know the uses of skimming and scanning, and what specific functions they have in reading. Be ready for the following activities. Try your best!

What I Can Do
In this part of the module, you have to put all the significant learning in the lesson.
Now you have to read the passage below taken from “Hand Washing: Why It’s so Important” as one of the means for the kids and family to be away from Corona Virus, and answer the questions that follow. Do this in your notebook.
[illustration: coronavirus particles beside a faucet and hands being washed]
How Do Clean Hands Help Health?
Good hand washing is the first line of defense against the spread of many illnesses —from the common cold to more serious infections, such as meningitis, bronchiolitis, flu, hepatitis A, and many types of diarrhea.
It’s a message worth repeating — hand washing is by far the best way to keep you from getting sick and prevent the spread of germs.
Here’s how to scrub those germs away. Demonstrate or show — or better yet, wash your hands together often so you learn how important this good habit is.
First, wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold). Make sure the water isn’t too hot for little hands. Second, use soap and lather up for about 20 seconds. Antibacterial soap isn’t a must — any soap will do. Third, make sure you get in between your fingers, on the backs of hands, and under the nails where germs like to hang out. And don’t forget the wrists. Finally, rinse and dry well with a clean towel.
When you come into contact with germs, you can become infected just by touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. And once you’re infected, it’s usually just a matter of time before the whole family comes down with the same illness.
(“Handwashing: Why So Important (For Parents) – Nemours Kidshealth” 2020) Https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/hand-washing .html
Questions:
- Name three diseases that are resisted by washing hands?
- What is the best way to prevent Covid-19?
- Is antibacterial soap necessary to fight disease?
- Which part of the hands are the two best places for germs to hang out?
- What is the recommended time duration for washing hands in this article?

Next is an article on Phobias. Scan and skim texts for information.
PHOBIAS
What is a phobia?
A phobia is an inexplicable fear of a situation or an object.
This might be something as understandable as fear of heights, technically called acrophobia or as unreasonable as a fear of the color green, technically called prasinophobia. Or it could be something such as a possible fear of spiders, technically, arachnophobia.
About one in ten people have specific phobias, 7 percent experience social phobias and 1 percent have agoraphobia (generally fear of being in open spaces).
People develop many kinds of phobias. Each phobia has its own name. Some (of a very long list) include:
- Aerophobia – fear of flying
- Peladophobia – fear of bald people
- Astraphobia – fear of thunder and lightening
- Autophobia – fear of being alone
- Homichlophobia -f ear of dogs
- Arachibutyrophobia – fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth
[illustration: a child reading a open book]
Phobias can range from being merely annoying to severely disabling. People with phobias often realize their fears are irrational, but they’re unable to do anything about it. Such fears can interfere with work, school and personal relationships. It is recommended that a person troubled by phobias to seek professional help.
What’s the treatment?
There are two primary treatments for phobias, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication.
CBT is the most commonly used therapeutic treatment for phobias. It involves controlled exposure to the fear in a safe setting. This treatment can decondition people to a phobia and reduce anxiety.
Medication is another treatment. Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications can help calm emotional and physical reactions. But the best treatment is often a combination of CBT and medication.

Mr Magicman
He is a magicman! He makes magic!
Mr. Magicman is a magician. He performs magic tricks. He is famous in his town and he goes to all the children’s parties. He performs lots of magic tricks for them. He makes all kinds of animals from balloons. He plays card trcks. And, like Harry Potter, he can make things disappear! He tells wonderful stories. Sometimes he sings and dances for the children. All the children love Mr. Magicman.
When children see him in town, they wave and they shout! ‘Hello!’ at him. He waves back and sometimes, if he has his hat on, he raises it to greet them.
Today, Saturday of June 10th, it is Peter’s birthday. Peter is ten. At 2 o’clock, all the children are at Peter’s House. They play party games and eat some delicious cakes. They wait for Mr. Magicman, but Mr. Magicman does not come. The children are sad. Then Peter’s dad comes in. He says:
‘ I am very sorry. Mr. Magicman has got a bad back and he cannot come!’
All the children are upset! They think a bit and then they make a plan. They make a banner and they go to Mr. Magicman’s house. They knock on his door. Mr. Magicman slowly opens his door. He sees the children and he smiles. The children
hold up their banner. The banner says: Get well soon, Mr. Magicman. We all love you.
