They have a clear purpose in reading; They read silently; They read phrase by phrase, rather than word by word; They concentrate on the important bits, skim the rest, and

skip the insignificant parts; They use different speeds and strategies for different reading

tasks; They perceive the information in the target language rather

than mentally translate; They guess the meaning of new words from the context, or

ignore them; They have and use background information to help

understand the text.
