                        Scanning

• This is a selective reading skills to locate facts and answers to specific questions..
• To save time you do not read every word on the page.
• You can scan a timetable ,pages of a dictionary,charts,table etc          

                         Skimming

• This is a reading skill employed to obtain the general idea of a text,to find out the writer`s point of view and to see how the contents in a passage are arranged
• When a text or a passage is too long and we have limited amount of time,we use this reading technique.
• When skimming,look for key words and phrases,the headings or subheading for the general idea of passage..
