Learning Activity Sheet (LAS) No. 18
I. Learning Competency
Use skimming and scanning to: locate specific information from various
materials, determine the text type and determine key ideas (LS1CS/EN-R-PSD-
LE/JHS-54)
Reading is fun. It allows you to know what you need to know. It takes you to
places you’ve never been and let you meet different people at the comforts of your
home. Through reading you get to travel and see the wonders of the world. Reading
is an instrument that gives you the opportunity to enhance other skills. By
becoming a better reader, you get to be a better speaker because it is much the
same as having a conversation with the author.
