SKANNING

Skimming is one of the tools you can use to read more in less time

Skimming refers to looking only for the general or main ideas, and works best with non-fiction (or factual) material.

With skimming, your overall understanding is reduced because you don’t read everything. You read only what is important to your purpose. Skimming takes place while reading and allows you to look for details in addition to the main ideas.

Skimming will help you locate the information quickly while making sure you use your time wisely.

skimming is done at a fast speed with less-than-normal comprehension, you shouldn’t skim all the time.
