Skim and Scan Think about a time when you read quickly through a textbook or reading passage. What kind of information were you looking for? There are two ways to quickly find information while reading.

Skim and Scan Skimming is a way to quickly find the main idea of a text. You can also skim a text to locate parts of interest. To skim, you might read titles, subtitles, subheadings, illustrations, and captions. Often the first sentence in each paragraph, or the first two or three paragraphs along with the last, will give you a good amount of information.

Skim and Scan Scanning is when you look for certain words or ideas. Readers might scan a document to see if it is useful for a research project. Scanning can also help a reader determine which parts of a text to read in more detail.
