Four Types of Reading
Elementary Reading
Systematic Reading
Analytic Reading
Comparative Reading
pertains to word-recognition type of reading wherein sentences are literally comprehended
Elementary Reading
employs skimming strategy wherein the researcher-reader may focus on the highlighted terms in the sample source manuscript.
Systematic Reading
requires the researcher-reader to break the whole scholarly work into parts for better understanding.
Analytic Reading
it may also observe here that the researcher-reader establishes connection with the author by asking the 5Ws and 1H questions through annotation.
Analytic Reading
it may also observe here that the researcher-reader establishes connection with the author by asking the 5Ws and 1H questions through annotation.
Analytic Reading
Use of a dictionary for concept clarification is also often considered in this type of reading.
Analytic Reading
The notes made from the analysis are then synthesized and will serve as an output.
Analytic Reading
considers two or more scholarly works which will be analyzed for comparing-contrasting purposes.
Comparative Reading
the various viewpoints of the authors regarding the particular concepts and principles will be carefully observed.
Comparative Reading
The generalized summary of the analysis from this type of reading then serves as an output.
Comparative Reading
Categorizing the themes of the concepts found in different literature must be done for better analysis and evaluation
Code the Literature
tools for reading and reviewing should be considered

Tools for Reading and Review Purposes
Highlighting

Highlighting
can also aid the researcher to easily distinguish the similarities and differences found in various sources.
Highlighting
uses words, phrases, and sentences which serve as written remarks of the researcher reflecting his/her understanding and questions regarding the scholarly work.
Annotation
The researcher may utilize a literature review synthesis matrix to better see how the gathered data from literature review will be presented in the study
