This document discusses a study on how well skimming and scanning strategies are implemented in a Basic Reading I class. It collected data through a quantitative questionnaire given to 10 students. The results showed that students implemented skimming and scanning strategies in various ways to gain the main topic and ideas of a text, find specific information, and understand content by reading parts of the text. It was concluded that skimming and scanning strategies helped students achieve inferential comprehension of texts.
