Scanning and skimming are both reading techniques used to quickly extract information from a text, but they serve different purposes:
1. Scanning: Scanning is the reading technique used to locate specific information or keywords within a text without reading it in full. This technique helps us to find a particular piece of data, such as a date, name, or number very quickly.
For Examples:
1. when we search an important line among various line, we often use this technique to find that specific line in a short time by scanning the keyword of that line.
2. we often used this technique to Search a specific data quickly from a long passage by scanning.
2. Skimming: Skimming is the technique to quickly read through a text to get the general idea or overview to focus on the main points rather than details.
For Examples:
1. we often skim a newspaper article to get a sense of the main news story without reading every paragraph.
2.we often skim a book’s introduction or chapter summary to get an idea of what the chapter we will cover.
