Previewing, Skimming and Scanning: Presented By: Group 1

This document discusses three reading strategies: previewing, skimming, and scanning. Previewing involves looking at titles, subtitles, visuals, and graphs to familiarize oneself with the contents and focus on important information. Skimming looks for the main point and developing ideas by rapidly moving the eyes across the page. Scanning looks for specific information by quickly moving the eyes along lines of text without reading every word to find desired details.

and identify the ideas that develop it.

along the page and tracing your finger along the
lines of the text to speed up your reading.

concluding sentences of paragraphs because these
usually talk about the topic of the text.
SCANNING

• It is useful especially when doing research or taking
examination.

you are looking for.

details you are searching for.
