Concept 2. What are Scanning, Skimming and Intensive Reading?

 Scanning is reading rapidly in order to find facts. You use this technique when
you are really in a hurry to find specific information for a text.
 Skimming is reading rapidly in order to get a general overview of the material.
When we are looking at a newspaper, we are actually skimming, we do not
read every word- instead we skim it to get a general idea of what the main
articles are about. We might use the headlines, photograph and captions to
help us decide if we want to delve further into a particular article or skip it and
search further.
 Intensive Reading is reading carefully and closely a short text with the
intention of gaining an understanding of as much as details as possible.
