The prefixes про- and по- can show that the verb has a temporal meaning. It would be perfective and wouldn't have an imperfective pair:

  • читать (impf) - прочитать (pf) - прочитывать (impf) (to read for an hour, a whole day, five minutes, the action continues for a certain time)
  • читать (impf) - почитать (pf) - почитывать (impf) (to read for a while, the action does not last long)
