HEPA filter

Lesson goals

Reading strategy- Scanning

When you’re scanning, it helps to think in terms of targets. Here are some other tips:

  Read your questions first and then start scanning!

1. Look at the title and the pictures. This will give you a clue about the most important information, the subject of the text and the structure.

2. Scan for the two or three search terms/ keywords that describe the information you want. You can recognize terms more readily on the page if you have them in mind while you scan.

3. Read the context. When you found a word that you were looking for, read the sentence before and after that word to know more about the subject.

4. Look at all italicized or bold words. According to popular publishing convention, authors often italicize and explain terms the first time they use them.
