Transcript of Skim and Scan

Reading techniques we use to locate information quickly. Skimming and Scanning This is why we
skim and scan. Sometimes you need to be able to
read a text very quickly. Skimming allows you to quickly find the main
idea of a paragraph, page, chapter or article and
a few (but not all) of the details. SKIMMING You don't need to read every
word when you skim because it is a type of fast reading. Remember! When we skim we generally scan our eyes in this direction. SKIMMING Skimming is used to get the main idea of a text. We can do this by:
* Skimming the title
* Skimming the topic sentences
* Skimming the concluding sentences
* Looking at any headings, diagrams, pictures and charts
* Looking at the way the text is organised
* Reading any words in bold type
* Make connections to predict the main idea of the text Skimming Skimming should be 3-4

We scan when... we look up details or prices in a catalogue. We scan when... we check what time our favourite program is on television. We scan when... To conclude... By using the quick reading techniques of skimming and scanning, you will be able to
find the main idea of a text
and
locate information quickly. * Predict the main idea of the text
* Locate key words to find specific information quickly In our next lesson we will skim and scan
information about Antarctica's fauna to: The End. By Mrs Byrnes
