Scanning

On 10 October,2016 We are going to learn about “Scanning”.

What is the Scanning?

Scanning is a type of speed reading technique which is used when you want to find specific information without necessarily understanding the rest of the text or passage. For example, you might scan the list of names in a telephone directory in order to find a phone number. You might scan job advertisements to find a right job.

Scanning → find key word(s)

      Need to have a question in mind ---- What the specific information you need;

.       Decide on a key word or expression that will signal the needed information;

3
