SKIMMING TECHNIQUE

Skimming is a process of reading to get an overall view or get an

impression of the content. This is when you pick out the main ideas or
messages.

SCANNING TECHNIQUE

Scanning, on the other hand, requires you to look for a particular word or

phrase. You can totally ignore unnecessary ones. If you’re reading, you
must be having or about to have questions to be answered, just
wisely choose what to read and quickly get what may benefit.
