Reading a text

How you read the text will depend on whether you are reading it for the first, second or even third time. 

It also depends on the goal that you have for reading it. 

Skimming 

• You read a text quickly to get a general idea.
• Your eyes follow the text from start to finish.
• Skim the introduction to get an idea of what the text is about and the first and last lines of paragraphs.

Scanning

• You want to find specific information.
  
• Your eyes move quickly all over the text; from left to right, up or down.
  
• Scan to find names, places, numbers or dates.
  
• As you read the text, circle/underline or highlight the numbers, dates, names, etc.

Reading for specific information

• The second time you read the text you will be looking for detail and specific information.
• Read slowly and carefully.
• Read parts of the text again and again.
