1.   Skimming is a method of rapidly moving the eyes over text with the purpose of getting only the main ideas and a general overview of the content

    Skimming is useful in three different situations :

1.      Pre reading – Skimming is more thorough than simple previewing and can give a more accurate picture of text to be read later.

2.      Reviewing -- Skimming is useful for reviewing text already read.

3.      Reading -- Skimming is most often used for quickly reading material that, for any number of reasons, does not need more detailed attention.

Examples of Skimming :

a.       The Newspaper – to quickly get the general news of the day.

b.      Magazines – to quickly discover which articles you would like to read in more detail

c.       Business and Travel Brochures – to quickly get informed

2. Scanning rapidly covers a great deal of material in order to locate a specific fact or piece of information.

To scan text:

a.    Know what you’re looking for. Decide on few key words or phrases–search terms, if you will. You will be a flesh-and-blood search engine.

b.   Look for only one keyword at a time. If you use multiple keywords, do multiple scans.

c.    Let your eyes float rapidly down the page until you find the word or phrase you want.

d.   When your eye catches one of your keywords, read the surrounding material carefully.

Example of  Scanning :

1.      A google search list on the internet

2.      A bus / airplane schedule

3.      A conference guide

4.      A graph

3.      Previewing a text means that you get an idea of what it is about without actually reading the main body of the text.

To preview, start by reading:

a. The title and author details.

b.The abstract (if there is one).

c. Read only the parts that “jump out”; that is: main headings and sub headings, chapter, summaries, any highlighted text.

d.      The first sentence in each paragraph.

Example:

 Help you decide whether a book or journal is useful for your purpose; to get a general sense of the article structure, to help you locate relevant information; to help you to identify the sections of the text you may need to read and the sections you can omit.
