ii. Prompting questions will be asked to activate the students’ prior knowledge
about skimming and scanning

iii. Discussion:
Skimming and Scanning are reading techniques that use rapid eye movement and
keywords to move quickly through text for slightly different purposes.

Skimming is reading rapidly in order to get a general overview of the material.

Skimming means reading very fast to find only the main idea of a text.

Scanning is reading rapidly in order to find specific facts. It is a technique often

used to search for key words or ideas. It is used when one knows what he/she is
looking for, so he is concentrating on finding a particular answer.

How to skim:
a. Read the title if there is one.
b. Read the introduction or the first paragraph if there
is one.
c. Read the first sentence of every other paragraph.
d. Notice any pictures, charts, or graphs.
e. Notice any italicized or boldface words or phrases.
f. Read the summary or last paragraph if there is one.

How to scan:
a. State the specific information you are looking for.
b. Try to anticipate how the answer will appear and
clues you might use to help you locate the answer
quickly.
c. Use headings and any other aids that will help you
identify which sections might contain the
information you are looking for.
d. Selectively read and skip through sections of the
passage.

iv. Verification through Illustrative Examples

The teacher gives example and ask questions to apply the techniques that they
learn in differentiating skimming and scanning.

EXAMPLE #1:
Degas’s background would never have suggested he was to become the
revolutionary painter he was. He was born in Paris, on 19 July 1834. His father,
Auguste de Gas, was a banker but his mother died before Degas reached his teens

EXAMPLE #2:
Everyone should wear a life jacket when they are on a boat. Because life jackets
are important. Life jackets have been proven to save lives. No one can predict
when an accident might happen. There may not be enough time to put on a life
jacket, but if you are already wearing it, it may save your life.

2. Restatement of Generalization

Skimming Strategies: reading first and last paragraphs, using headings ; reading
summaries and other organizers while moving down the page or screen; and
reading the title, subtitles, subheadings, and illustrations.

Scanning Strategies: looking for the author’s use of organizers such as numbers,
letters, steps, or the words first, second, or next; spotting words that are bold
faced, italics or in a different font size, style, or color, and looking at the marginal
notes.
3. Application

First day
My first day of college was a disaster. First, I went to the wrong classroom for math. I was
sitting in the class, surrounded by people taking notes and paying attention to how to do
equations, which would have been okay if I was supposed to be in an algebra class. In reality,
I was supposed to be in geometry, and when I discovered my error, I had already missed the
first twenty minutes of a one-hour class. When I got to the correct class, all twenty-five
students turned and looked at me as the teacher said, “You’re late.” My first day of school
was so bad that I know the rest will have to be better.
