SKIMMING & SCANNING
Skimming and scanning are reading techniques that use rapid eye movement and
keywords to move quickly through text for slightly different purposes. Skimming is reading
rapidly in order to get a general overview of the material. Scanning is reading rapidly in
order to find specific facts. While skimming tells you what general information is within a
section, scanning helps you locate a particular fact. Skimming is like snorkeling, and
scanning is more like pearl diving.
•
Use skimming in previewing (reading before you read), reviewing (reading after you
read), determining the main idea from a long selection you don't wish to read, or when
trying to find source material for a research paper.
•
Use scanning in research to find particular facts, to study fact-heavy topics, and to
answer questions requiring factual support.
