Assalamualaikum...
Today we had
learned about skimming, scanning. Do you know about that? I don’t know actually
until Miss Zu explained it to us.
‘Skimming’
Skimming is the process of quickly identify
the main ideas. There are a few tips for better skimming, which is read the
document or report quickly, only the main point; read the first and the last
paragraphs using headings, summaries, read the headings, sub-headings and
illustrations, when seeking a specific information, consider reading the first
sentence of each paragraph, and take note of any italicized or boldfaced word
or phrases. Skimming works well for finding dates as well as names of people
and places. It is also useful for reviewing graphs, tables and charts.
‘Scanning’
Scanning is a reading skill used to find
specific information quickly. There are a few tips for better scanning which is
look for the author’s use of organizers such as numbers, letters, steps or
sequence such as first, second or next; selectively read and skip through
sections of the passage; use headings any other aids that will help you
identify which section might contain the information you are looking for. Try
to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you are looking for.
Look for words that are boldfaced, italicized or in a different font size,
style or color. Do not read everything
in detail, look for key words or concentrate on certain parts during
examination!.
