Scanning
The technique you use when you're looking up a name in the phone book: you move your eye quickly over the page to find particular words or phrases that are relevant to the task you're doing. It's useful to scan parts of texts to see if they're going to be useful to you:
the introduction or preface of a book the first or last paragraphs of chapters the concluding chapter of a book.
Skimming
The technique you use when you're going through anewspaper or magazine: you read quickly to get themain points, and skip over the detail. It's useful to
skim: to preview a passage before you read it in detail to refresh your understand of a passage after
you've read it in detail. Use skimming when you're trying to decide if a book inthe library or bookshop is right for you.
Comprehensive Reading
Detailed reading: for extracting information accurately
Where you read every word, and work to learn from the text.
In this careful reading, you may find it helpful to skim first, to get a general idea, but then go back to read in detail. Use a dictionary to make sure you understand all the words used.
