Reading techniques

                                       Reading Techniques


*People read for different purposes.In order to save time and to  meet your purposes,you would need the help of these reading techniques:




1.Skimming- Reading a written material quickly.It is     about three to four times faster than normal    
reading.
 -To get the idea of a written material by
   reading the first paragraph and last  
   paragraph thoroughly then, quick reading 
   on the other paragraphs.
*We usually skim when reading a newspaper or a magazine.


2.Scanning-Going quickly to your desired information.
 Moving your eyes quickly on the page to look for the idea you are looking for.
-In scanning, you do not need to know the main idea of a written material because you are just looking for a specific information.
*We usually scan when we look for a word in a dictionary or when we look for the verbs in a paragraph.
