Define Intensive Reading.

-Intensive reading is comprehensive. It is thorough and concentrated. It takes place after one has surveyed a text; probably skimmed through it to get the gist or even scanned it for some salient items needed for better understanding. The purpose for intensive reading is to understand the text deeply.

- The reader may need to understand how a process works; the reasoning behind it; the argumentation for or against a certain idea, proposition or premise to determine the validity of such an argument to be able to support it or make alternative proposition. An intensive reader is more intellectually involved with the text he/she reads.

- He/she relates ideas/issues raised in the text with what he/she already knows about them from other readings, discussions, lectures and seminars or from personal experience. The reader tries to see how those ideas can be applied or adapted to different situations. This kind of reading tends to be analytical, critical and evaluative.
