Reading involves understanding words and relationships between them. It is an important skill for college, where 85% of work involves reading, and business, where professionals spend 16% of their time reading. There are several types of reading, including skimming to get the main idea quickly without details, scanning to find specific information, and intensive reading where every word is focused on to fully understand and recall the main idea. The reading process involves reading material, thinking as reading occurs, studying any pictures, taking brief notes, and reviewing.
