This document discusses different reading skills: 1) Skimming allows readers to quickly identify main ideas in a text by scanning it 3-4 times faster than normal reading. It is used when time is limited. 2) Scanning is searching for specific keywords or answers, like looking up a word in a dictionary. 3) Predicting uses background knowledge to anticipate content, vocabulary, and text structure to aid comprehension. 4) Previewing reviews titles, headings and images to understand a text's organization before reading in depth.
