What is Skimming and Scanning?
Skimming serves as an effective reading strategy for optimizing time while comprehending
the core concepts. It involves selectively seeking out general or main ideas within the text.
To employ skimming, focus on reading introductory sections, chapter summaries, the first
and last sentences of paragraphs, and any highlighted or bolded terms. This approach
facilitates a rapid understanding of the overall content without immersing oneself in
exhaustive detail. Skimming allows one to swiftly identify crucial information and grasp key
points, even if not every word is read.
How to Skim?
Scanning is like a search tool when you're reading. It helps you find particular details like
dates, names, or places in a text. You look for important things like numbers, bold words,
symbols, short forms, and quotes. Scanning is handy when you need specific information
without reading everything. It's like a quick search to spot the details you're looking for.
How to Scan?
1. Alphabetical (A-Z)
2. Chronological (time or numerical order)
3. Non-alphabetical (such as television listing)
4. Category
5. Textual
Keep the concept of key words in mind while scanning.
Things to remember:
Skimming:
Look at Titles: Check the main titles to know what the text is about.
Read First and Last Parts: Get key info from the start and end of paragraphs.
Check Bold Words: Important words might be in bold
See Pictures and Charts: They can give you a quick idea.
Scanning:
Know What You Need: Have a clear idea of what info you're looking for.
Find Key Words: Look for specific words related to your search.
Use Your Finger: Point to guide your eyes and stay focused.
Check Numbers: Pay attention to dates or numerical info.
Notice Important Words: Words in bold or all caps could be crucial.
