Scanning
Scanning is a fast reading technique. It's a way
of reading to look for specific information in a
text.
In daily life, scanning can be used to read
through the ads in a newspaper, or for browsing
TV schedules, timetables, lists, catalogues or
web pages for information. For these tasks you
don't need to read or understand every word.
Scanning is also useful when studying or looking
to find specific information from a book or
article quickly as there is not enough time to
read every word.
