Skimming and scanning

are reading techniques that use rapid eye movement quickly through text for slightly
different purposes, ​for ​speed reading​.

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 presume 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.

About the given Text.
