Scanning: This technique involves quickly searching for specific information within a text.

Example: 1 Phone Book: Searching for your friend's name to find their phone number.

Example: 2 Bus Schedule: Looking for the time of a specific bus route amidst many listed times.

Skimming :This technique is used to get a general idea of the content without reading everything in detail.

Example :1 Textbook Chapter: Glancing through the headings and subheadings to understand the main concepts before diving deeper into the content.

Example:2 News Article: Reading the headline, lead paragraph, and conclusion to get an overview of the story without reading the entire article.
