Reading strategy

Whenever  you need to go through a text without actually reading every word that is skim reading. You can skim read at different speeds.Read these tips on skim reading and then apply this technique while working with different text types.

•  Fast skim reading happens when you just go through the pages of a book or text simply marking,possibly with a " post-it note", the beginning of each chapter or section. You can write  a few words on the post-it note simply to remind you why you decided to put it there.

• Scan  reading occurs when you are looking for some more specific  information and you go through each page trying to identify some key word that you find of interest and / or relevant for the exercise you need to solve.

       REMEMBER : when doing reading comprehension exercises skim the    text  first.

       Then read the questions and reread the text again  in order to be more    effective.Then your brain  will recognise relevant key words in the text  that you will need  to answer the questions.
