Reading is always with a purpose

There are two reasons for reading:

       A. Instrumental reading:

It refers to large amount of reading that helps to achieve an aim. Example reading a road sign in order to find out where to go. Reading instruction of a machine that could be operated. Some kind of readings take place because people have some instrumental purpose in their minds (Hammer J, ) It can also be pleasurable reading when you read history text books or other subjects that interesting us.

       B.  Pleasurable reading:

Is mainly a kind of reading for pleasure. For example reading magazines, poetry, and illustrated cartoon or photo stories.

Of these five kinds of reading activities, the first three, survey reading, skimming, and superficial reading are sometimes grouped together and called extensive reading. The object of such reading is to cover the greatest possible amount of text in the shortest possible time. The remaining two kinds of reading activity, content study reading and linguistic study reading are also often grouped together and called intensive reading. (Broughton, G. 1980, al et)
