2. SKIMMING
• It is done at a speed three or four times
faster than normal reading.People often
skim when they have a lot of material to
read in a limited.
• Use skimming when you want to see if an
article may be of your interest in research.
• Skimming works well to find dates,names
and places.
3. The skill of skimming implies looking over a chapter or
unit quickly in order to have a general idea of its
contents.
Skimming is used to
immediately
recognise the main
ideas of a text. When
you read the
newspaper,you're
probably not reading
it word-by-
word,instead you're
scanning the text.

4. SCANNING
• It is a technique you often use when you
are looking up a word in the telephone,book
or dictionary.
• It means moving your eyes quickly down
the page seeking specific words and
phrases.
• It is also used when you first find a
resource to determine whether it will answer
your questions.
5. Scanning suggests the review of a particular text to find a
specific piece of information
Alphabetical information is
arranged in order from A to Z,
while chronological information
is arranged in time or numerical
order.
Information can be also be
arranged in non- alphabetical
order, such as a television
listing, or by category, listings of
like items such as an auto parts
catalog. Sometimes information
is located within the written
paragraphs of text, also known
as a textual sense, as in an
encyclopedia entry.
6. CRITICAL READING
• Critical reading is a form of language analysis
that does not take the given text at face value,
but involves a deeper examination of the
claims put forth as well as the supporting
points and possible counterarguments.
• Critical reading, much like academic writing,
requires the linkage of evidential points to
corresponding arguments.

"The things I want to know are in books,my
best friend is the man who'll get me a book I
ain't read
