7. Scanning is a fast reading technique. It’s a way of reading to look for specific information in a text.

8.  Looking up a phone number  Browsing  TV schedules  Timetables  Lists  Catalogues,  CV, and  Web pages for information

10. Do you need to read every word? No. In fact, you only look for words that will answer your question. Do you need to understand every word? No, so of course DO NOT USE A DICTIONARY!

11. Scan quickly Purpose is to locate info quickly, a high rate of speed is essential. With clue words in mind, try to scan as much of the printed matter as you can in the least amount of time. Don't get distracted by unrelated words or info. If you find yourself beginning to read words or paragraphs, stop reading and begin to move your eyes in a scanning pattern. Read more carefully once you find the cue words.

12. Make accuracy your goal Accuracy is just as important as speed. Need only specific info. Once found info you need to check that you are correct. High speed is only useful if you find the exact info you need. Goal 100% accuracy.

15. 1. Don’t try to read every word. Instead let your eyes move quickly across the page until you find what you are looking for. 2. Use clues on the page, such as titles and headings, to help you find the information.

16. 3. In a dictionary or phone book, use the header words to help you scan. These words are in bold type at the top of each page. 4. Many texts, like phone books, use alphabetical order. This makes scanning for what you want very easy.
