"SCANNING"

Scanning is a technique where you quickly move your eyes over a text to locate specific information. You’re not focused on understanding every word, just finding the details you need.

Example 1: When you’re looking for a friend's name in a long list of attendees at an event, you'd scan the list until you spot the name.

Example 2: If you’re going through a cookbook and need to find the cooking time for a recipe, you'd scan the instructions to locate that specific detail.

"SKIMMING"

Skimming involves reading through a text rapidly to get a general idea of its content without focusing on every word. It’s like getting a quick overview.

Example 1: When you're flipping through a magazine, you might skim through articles, reading the first few lines and looking at images to see what interests you.

Example 2: While browsing through a travel guide, you might skim sections to quickly get an idea of top attractions in a city without diving into detailed descriptions.
