Skimming and Scanning
Skimming refers to the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of the content of a reading selection.
How to Skim:
* Read
the title.
* Read
the introduction or the first paragraph.
* Read
the first sentence of every other paragraph.
* Read
any headings and sub-headings.
* Notice
any pictures, charts, or graphs.
* Notice
any italicized or boldface words or phrases.
* Read
the summary or last paragraph.
Scanning is a reading technique to be used
when you want to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a
question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring
unrelated information.
How to Scan:
* State
the specific information you are looking for.
* Try
to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you might use to help
you locate the answer. For example, if you were looking for a certain date, you
would quickly read the paragraph looking only for numbers.
* Use
headings and any other aids that will help you identify which sections might
contain the information you are looking for.
* Selectively
read and skip through sections of the passage.
