The document discusses the reading techniques of skimming and scanning. Skimming involves quickly reading a text to get the main ideas, while scanning means searching for specific keywords or information. Some key points made are:
- Skimming is 3-4 times faster than regular reading and is used when there is a lot of material to cover in a short time.
- Scanning is used to search for specific terms or information quickly when you know what you're looking for.
- Both techniques allow readers to find important information faster than carefully reading entire texts. Being able to skim and scan effectively is useful when researching topics or collecting information.

Study of shear walls in multistoried buildings with different thickness and r...eSAT Journals
Abstract This paper investigates the effect of different thickness and corresponding reinforcement percentages required for shear walls on multi-storied buildings. Building models with shear walls are developed using ETABS. The location of the shear walls are kept same and a comparative study is done for different thickness of the shear wall for different height of the building (5 storied, 10 storied and 15 storied). In each of the cases corresponding reinforcement percentages required are found out. It is observed that for a constant thickness of shear wall, reinforcement percentage increases with increase of both seismicity and number of stories. It is also observed that for all zones, the reinforcement percentage increases if the shear wall thickness increases for a certain range of thickness and then decreases for a certain range of thickness. Thus the results indicate that increase of shear wall thickness is not always effective for earthquake resistant design. Keywords: Shear Wall, ETABS, earthquake resistant design.

5. Skimming and scanning
When you have a specific question to answer or information
to collect, you need to be able to skim a page quickly to find
the section you need. You can do this by scanning a text for
a keyword.
Can you define the three highlighted words above?
Skim: to read something quickly
so that you only note the
important points.
Scan: to look quickly and not very
thoroughly through a text in order
to identify relevant information.
Keyword: a word of
importance.
In which specific situations do
you think it would be a useful skill
to be able to skim/scan quickly
and accurately?
6. Skimming
Quickly identify main ideas of a text
Skimming is 3 to 4 times faster regular
reading
Used when there is a lot of material and a
short amount of time
7. Skimming
Skimming is reading
selectively to get a
general idea of
what an article is
about.
Read some
parts/skip others.
Look for the most
important ideas.
Read for main
ideas.
Skip facts and
details.
8. Skimming
Find out the answer to the following question by skimming the passage
below.
What were the names of Degas’s father and mother?
Degas’s background would never have suggested he was to become the
revolutionary painter he was. He was born in Paris, on 19 July 1834. His
father, Auguste de Gas, was a banker but his mother, Célestine, died
before Degas reached his teens.
Degas’s father was called ___________________
Degas’s mother was called __________________
Answer:
9. Skimming
You could have read through the whole piece of text until you found the
answer. A quicker way would be to find the keywords in the question – in
this case ‘father’ and ‘mother’ – then run your eyes down the text, flicking
them from left to right, until you found the same (or similar) words in the
article.
If all you want is one piece of information, skimming can
be a time-saving device.
I find it’s especially useful when
you’re researching something and
you don’t want to have to read
whole pages on a subject just to get a
few pieces of information!
10. Purposes for Skimming
Skim through a
review of the
metric system if
you already are
familiar with it.
Skim a section of a
reference book if
you are looking for
specific
information.
Skim a
newspaper
report if you
wish only to
understand the
main events.
Skim a movie
review to make
a decision on
seeing a movie.
.
11. How to Skim
Read the first and last paragraph
Read headings, subheadings, titles,
subtitles, and illustrations
Read the first sentence of every
paragraph
Skimming works well with dates,
names and places
15. Limitations of Skimming
Cannot expect to retain facts and
details.
Expect 50% comprehension rate.
Use only when reading for general
concepts.
.
16. Scanning
Used to search for key terms
When you know what you are looking for
you can through texts to find the
information
Good to use when determining whether a
source will have the answers you are
looking for
17. Scanning
Find and circle the following words in this passage from Jane
Austen’s Emma as quickly as possible:
CLEVER HOME UNITE DISTRESS MARRIAGE EARLY
Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and
happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence;
and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress
or vex her.
She was the youngest of two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent
father, and had, in consequence of her sister’s marriage, been mistress of his
house from a very early period.
18. Scanning
A way of reading to look for specific
information in a text.
For looking up a phone number, for
browsing TV schedules, timetables, lists,
catalogues or web pages for information.
E.g. How many sons does the mom have?
19. Scanning – How?
Don’t read every word or every sentence.
Let your eyes move quickly across the page until
you find what you are looking for.
Use clues on the page, such as heading and titles,
number, names to help you
20. How to Scan
First look at how the author organizes
his information
Look for bold faces, italics, or different
sized fonts
The author may also put key information
in the margins of pages
21. Scanning is a reading technique to be used when you want
to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a
question in your mind and you read a passage only to find
the answer, ignoring unrelated information.
Examples of Scanning:
A google search list on the internet.
A bus / airplane schedule
A conference guide
A graph
22. Scanning Practice
Here is some information you are looking
for on the BC Hydro website.
Read the questions and then on the next
slide , find the answers, as quickly as
possible:
1. Who is handling inquiries?
2. What is the after hours media line?
3. What is a good example of BC Hydro
Clean Energy Project?
23. Scanning answers
Remember it’s important to quickly find the information you
need. You don’t need to understand every word, or read every
word. Your eyes should quickly scan the document for the
information you seek.
24. Conclusion
Skimming and scanning is used
when reading all types of
documents.
We skim to get the idea of what a
document is about and typically
skim all documents before we
actually begin to read.
As we skim, we…
think about the topic
think about what we already know
about the topic
start to guess or anticipate the details
we are going to read about.
We scan for specific information.
We work quickly when we skim and
scan.
