SKIMMING

Skim—If It’s Short and Simple
• Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light
reading—like popular magazines or the sports and
entertainment sections of the paper.
• Skimming is also a great way to review material
you’ve read before.
• When you skim, it is necessary to read only selected
sentences in order to get the main idea.
• You should also use textual clues such as italicized or
underlined words, headlines or subtitles, spacing,
paragraphing, etc.
• Do not read every word or sentence.
Here’s how to skim
• Think of your eyes as magnets.
• Force them to move fast.
• Sweep them across each and every line of type.
• Pick up only a few key words in each line.
• Skimming can give you a very good idea of this story in about half the words
—and in less than half the time it’d take to read every word.
• So far, you’ve seen that previewing and skimming can give you a general idea
about content—fast.
• But neither technique can promise more than 50 percent comprehension,
because you aren’t reading all the words.
• Once you have a general idea about an article, you may decide to read the
entire selection carefully, or only to scan for specific pieces of information in
order to answer questions that have occurred to you.
