Reading Text/Lecture

• ability to understand reading material in the form of sentences or paragraphs
• generally involves reading notes, letters, memos, manuals, specifications, regulations, books, reports or journals

Reading includes:

• forms and labels if they contain at least one paragraph
• print and non-print media (for example, text on computer screens and microfiche)
• paragraph-length text in charts, tables and graphs

We use this skill to:

• scan for information
• skim overall meaning
• evaluate what we read
• integrate information from multiple sources
