English Assignment: Intensive VS. Extensive Reading

Intensive reading involves carefully reading a text with specific learning goals in mind to gain an exact understanding. It helps learners understand grammar and is used for things like contracts and forms. Extensive reading is meant to be enjoyable with less mental effort. Reading more extensively increases passive vocabulary as the reader is exposed to more language. It improves comprehension, language proficiency, and general knowledge. Intensive reading analyzes line by line with dictionary help, while extensive reading focuses on overall meaning without language focus by reading various books quickly.
