- - - - How to Skim
        
        To skim effectively, there must be a structure to get the information you need without reading every word.
        
        .Read the first few paragraphs in detail to get an idea of what will be discussed. Once you understand what the reading will be about, read only the first sentence in each paragraph
        
        Decide if the rest of the paragraph is worth the read, then skim through looking for important information like dates, names, events, etc.
        
        The final paragraphs contain a conclusion or summary, you should stop skimming and read in detail. Skimming is a technique to grasp the main ideas of a passage, the overall comprehension will be lower than reading in detail.
- - - - How to Scan
        
        Scanning is a method of looking for specific information or answers
        
        Skim the passages first to decide if you might find the information you search for.
        
        Search for keywords, one at a time, while jumping around the passage.
        
        Scan through the passages rapidly until you find the keyword you search for.
        
        Read the surrounding the surrounding material carefully, decide if you’ve found what you need.
- - - - Survey
        
        Scan the text to get a general grasp of what it’s about
        
        Look for chapter titles, graphics, highlighted, bolded, or italicized words. You can read summaries or reviews of books as well.
      - Question
        
        Form some questions about the text and about what you might be interested in learning
        
        What do you think this text talks about? What are you curious to understand? You can turn chapter or section titles into questions as well.
      - Read, Recite, Review
        
        Read: Try to read actively and take notes about important details or questions that come up
        
        Recite: Re-write in your own words what you’ve read. How would you summarize it? How would you explain it to a friend?
        
        Review: Re-read the most important sections, paying extra attention to passages you may not have understood on the first read. Revisit the questions you wrote down—can you answer them?
