"Students, like the rest of us, need to be able to do a number of things with a reading text. They need to be able to scan the text for particular bits of information they are searching for. This skill means that they do not have to read every word and line; on the contrary, such an approach would stop them scanning successfully . . . They may scan a computer manual to find one piece of information they need to use their machine . . . But we would expect them to be less utilitarian with a literary work where reading for pleasure will be a slower, closer kind of activity."
