- Scanning: Scanning is a quick reading technique used to find specific information, such as a name, date, or keyword, without reading the entire text.
- Example 1: When searching for a word in a dictionary, you scan through the pages until you find the specific word and its definition.
- Example 2: In a restaurant menu, you scan the list of items to find a specific dish you're interested in.
- Skimming: Skimming is reading quickly to get the main idea or overview of the text without focusing on the details.
- Example 1: When browsing a newspaper, you skim through headlines and the first few sentences of articles to see which ones you want to read in full.
- Example 2: Before studying a textbook chapter, you skim it by reading the headings, subheadings, and bolded terms to understand what the chapter is about.
