Skimming type of reading
Skimming helps save hours of hard work. However, this is not always the most accurate way to read. This is very useful when reading a preview or considering a heavy selection of content. However, as you browse, you may miss important points or overlook subtle shades of meaning, which can require quick reading or even study.
Use skimming to review textbook sections or review a test. In general, use skimming to determine if you need to read something during the initial survey for a paper, for example. Skimming can give you enough information about the general idea and tone of a material, as well as its approximate similarities or differences from other sources, to see if you should read it at all.
Be prepared to flip through pages quickly for browsing. You don’t read every word; you pay special attention to typographic characters - headings, bold and italic, italic, bulleted and numbered lists. You will be alerted about keywords and phrases, names of people and places, dates, names and unfamiliar words. In general, follow these steps:
Read the table of contents or an overview of the chapter to learn the main parts of the ideas.
Review the main headings of each chapter to see one or two words. Read the titles of the graphs and tables.
Read the introductory paragraph in full, then read the first and last sentences of each subsequent paragraph. For each paragraph, read only the first few words of each sentence or find the main idea.
Stop sentences that contain keywords written in bold or italic, and read them quickly.
If you think you’ve found something important, stop reading the whole sentence to make sure. Then go the same way. Resist the temptation to stop reading details you don’t need.
If provided, read the section summaries.
If you can’t do all of the above, compromise: for example, read the chapter’s overview and conclusions, or the conclusions and all the bold keywords. If you look, you get a calculated risk that you may miss something. For example, the main points of paragraphs are not always found in the first or last sentences (although they are in many textbooks). You can get the ideas you missed in the overview or summary of the chapter.
Good skimmers don’t skip everything at the same speed or focus on everything the same. Although skimming is always faster than normal reading speed, you should slow down in the following situations:
If you look at the introduction and final paragraphs
If you look at the subject sentences
When you find an unfamiliar word
When the material is too complex
Skimming is the process of quickly reviewing a piece of text to get an overall impression of an author’s main arguments, topics, or ideas. There are three types of skimming: preview, preview, and preview.
Preview your skim
Often the previous skimming is applied after the second skimming or full reading
when choosing a book.
when reading or checking a chapter before reading.
in finding suitable material for use in research.
in sorting before responding to correspondence.
You will see in advance to get acquainted with the ideas presented and the structure of their development.
Method: Read the first paragraph, headings, and first sentences of the following paragraphs and sections.
Review
You use general view skimming to choose more carefully than you did when you previewed the material you read, as you may not have the intention of reading the material later.
Method: In the preview, you read the first paragraph, paragraphs, and section headings and first sentences, but you also get to know the structure and content of the material as you take turns reading and reviewing. you will be warned. awareness of paragraph patterns, feedback, and tips.
This awareness will help you understand the content, remember more information, and see the relationship more clearly and quickly.
Review
The purpose of the review is to fully review the material you have read or reviewed before.
Method: Prepare yourself by trying to remember many ideas and details clearly. Perhaps you already have a good understanding of the basic ideas and stop writing important details first - names, places, terms, and so on. you can try to fill in the skeletal contour to determine the structure of the whole.
Familiarity with the material allows you to review many things, stopping only when needed.
As you review the text, you’ll want to focus on the parts that might include the main ideas, without focusing on the details. These include the title, which is often a summary of the entire text. The first paragraph can also be helpful, as it will usually be an introduction that includes an overview of the entire text. Similarly, a concluding paragraph can be useful because it can be a conclusion and therefore often contains a summary of the main points. You should also try to read the first sentence in each paragraph, as this is often a topic sentence, and the last sentence in each paragraph may be the final sentence. Also, pay attention to repetitive words, as they can convey key points. Other aspects such as an abstract or section title for a technical article may also help. In short, you should pay attention to the following (remember that not all texts have all of these, for example, many texts do not have a thesis or chapter title).
