With incremental reading, we waste no time on reading material we do not understand. We can safely skip portions of material and return to them in the future.

Incremental reading emphasizes the extraction of key information from texts rather than understanding the entire text in one sitting. This approach allows readers to skip parts of the material they don’t immediately understand and return to them later.

Consequently, this method might not be well-suited for story-type texts, which typically rely on a continuous narrative and emotional engagement. The fragmented nature of incremental reading could disrupt the flow and overall experience of such texts.
