Quick Reading Tricks

Skimming means looking quickly over a passage to get the main idea. Scanning means searching for specific information like a name or date. These tricks help you save time and find answers fast!

When to Use:

  • Skim when you want to know what a passage is about before reading closely.
  • Scan when you need to find one fact or answer quickly.

Tip: Use your finger to guide your eyes while you read fast!

Examples

  • Skimming a story to find out if you want to read it.
