According to Harder- Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text.When you read the newspaper you're probably not reading it word by word instead you're scanning the text. and skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading,people often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
For example: 1.The newspaper (Quickly to get the general news of the day).
So,In my opinion Skimming is a reading technique to be used when you want to find just "Main idea"in the text.
Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary.you search for key words or ideas.In most cases, you know what you're looking for,so you're concentrating on finding a particular information.When scanning,look for the authors use of organizers such as numbers,letters,steps,the words. look for words that are bold faced,italics,or in a different front size,style,color.Sometimes the author will put key words or ideas in the margin.
For examples : 1. A Train or Airplane schedule 2. A Conference Guide
So In my opinion Scanning is A reading technique to be used when you want to find key words in the text.

skimming and scanning Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research. There are many strategies that can be used when skimming. Some people read the first and last paragraphs using headings, summarizes and other organizers as they move down the page or screen. You might read the title, subtitles, subheading, and illustrations. Consider reading the first sentence of each paragraph. This technique is useful when you're seeking specific information rather than reading for comprehension. Skimming works well to find dates, names, and places. It might be used to review graphs, tables, and charts. Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim
My opinion Skimming is a technique to identify the main ideas from the text. If you read a text, you don't need to read word by word and also sentence by sentence,because it will be lost your time. Scanning is a technique to looking for the key word or ideas. Because you just concentrate the key word or idea. And it also help the reader to determine wether it will answer your question.
Skimming Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming. Examples of Skimming: • The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day) • Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail) • Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed) Scanning Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning. Examples of Scanning • The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper. • A train / airplane schedule • A conference guide References: Beare Kenneth.Retrieved from:http://esl.about.com/od/englishreadingskills/a/readingskills.htm

SKIMMING is reading rapidly in order to get a general overview of the material. In my opinion : It means that while you are reading you just focus to find out about a topic, the main ideas, and the general organization of passage.
For example.
While the reader read an article he or she just look over in the headline the first sentence and sometimes in the last sentence of each paragraph of an article.
SCANNING is reading rapidly in order to find specific facts.
In my opinion: It means that while you are reading you just focus on finding the first word or finding the key of word..
For example When you want to look for the name of the author' the Author's Name is Thomas so your eyes move quickly to find the first word information.

In my opinion 1. Skimming is reading just those parts of a text that are most likely to indicate what the authors are talking about at different points in order to gain an overview of the content. It is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text,high- speed that can save you time and help you get through lots of material quickly, and your eyes should move very quickly over the pages. Examples of skimming: aticles. Newspaper, news stories, etc. 2. Scanning is very high-speed reading that you do when you are looking for specific piece of information. You don’t read every word, only key words so that you can read faster. Examples of scannning: look at the list at the National Zoo in Washington. D.C will you able to see an exhebit that features the Amazon rain forest in March? Key words: Amazon, rain, forest, March. So, the differences between skimming, scanning ,extensive reading and also intensive reading are:
• Skimming - running the eyes over quickly, to get the gist • Scanning - looking for a particular piece of information • Extensive reading - longer texts for pleasure and needing global understanding • Intensive reading - shorter texts, extracting specific information, accurate reading for detail.

• SKIMMING
Readers skim a text when they look it over quickly to get a general idea of the subject-matter. The reader is not interested in all the detail, getting the gist is enough. Skimmers run their eye down the page or screen looking for pointers that sum up the contents. Subheadings or bullet points attract their attention, as do the introductory phrases of paragraphs and the concluding ones. In longer texts, skimmers check the contents lists, the opening and closing paragraphs of chapters, and any introductions, conclusions or summaries.
In my opinion, Skimming is one of reading technique that we use when we want to know about the general meaning of a passage, Such as the topic, the main ideas, and the general organization of a passage. Skimming also helps us to get an overall impression of the content of the text. There are some ways to skim. Two of it are First read the title. It can help us to get the first impression of the content of the text. Second read the introduction of the first paragraph to get the abstract from the text. This skimming are very useful because it can save readers time and allow them to study more efficiently. For example : • see whether a magazine article will be worth reading • read through a new recipe
• SCANNING Scanning refers to the act of briefly reading through the passage. You do not go into detail to interpret every single detail. The purpose of scanning is to just simply know what the passage is talking about, who are the characters, and some other information that is more of general. Scanners will make use of a book's index and contents page. When running their eye over the text, they will look out for keywords relevant to their search. In my opinion, Scanning is a technique that we use when we are looking for specific information quickly. In other word scanning is rapid reading to get the specific information without read another part we just focus on the subject. We search by using key words. There are techniques when we are scanning. First decide what we are going to search. This is important because it can make us be more focus on the topic. Second try to find the clues. For example when we are looking for a certain date, we just focus on the number. Three, Use headings and any other aids that will help us identify which sections might contain the information we are looking for. And the last, selectively read and skip through section of the passage
For example, a reader might scan a biography of Abraham Lincoln, looking out only for significant dates. The reader would skip over descriptions of Lincoln's upbringing, his struggles and his achievements, stopping only to note the years. Another example a reader looks up the meaning of a word “play” in a dictionary. He or she just focus on the key word the letter “P”.

=> The expert's definition (From College Reading and Study Skills and Academic Reading and Study Skills for International Students) Skimming refers to the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of the content of a reading selection.
How to Skim: * Read the title. * Read the introduction or the first paragraph. * Read the first sentence of every other paragraph. * Read any headings and sub-headings. * Notice any pictures, charts, or graphs. * Notice any italicized or boldface words or phrases. * Read the summary or last paragraph.
Scanning is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.
How to Scan: * State the specific information you are looking for. * Try to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you might use to help you locate the answer.

=> My opinion skimming is the reading technique which we use when we are reading something quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself. -for example when we are in the book store and want to buy a book. we will not read the book from the front to the back. we will just look at the tittle, the author and the information on the back cover of the book. by doing them, we will will know what the book is about.
while scanning is the reading technique which is used when we are reading something quickly to answer the question in our mind. We do it just for looking for the information we need, in the other words, we will pass the sentence which is not important for us. -for example when we are looking at the list of the exam result announcement. we will just look for the name which we want to know. we usually use our pointer to find it, of course by passing the other names. then, when we find it, we will read more information about the name, like the score that he / she gets or others.
Skimming and scanning are reading strategies that can assist a reader in getting specific information from the text. Students should be taught appropriate times to skim or scan, such as looking for a specific answer, and inappropriate times to use scanning or skimming, such as when reading to comprehend. Skimming is a reading technique that is used to get a quick “gist” of a section or chapter. Scanning is a reading technique that is reading quickly to locate specific information. You can first introduce skimming and scanning by brainstorming a list of textual clues that will help students, such as bold-face type, capital letters, dates, key words, etc. Practice skimming and scanning can be practiced with short passages to gain mastery.
so, in my opinion skimming is reading strategy to look quickly over a section of text to get a general idea of the meaning. for example : if you were in a shop deciding whether to buy a newspaper, you might very quickly skim the stories to see if they seemed like something you would like to read in more detail.
and scanning is reading strategy to look quickly over the text looking for a specific word(s) or meaning. for example :looking for your name in a list of names, you would scan because you are not interested in getting a general idea of the other people's names.

For example, if you were looking for a certain date, you would quickly read the paragraph looking only for numbers. * Use headings and any other aids that will help you identify which sections might contain the information you are looking for. * Selectively read and skip through sections of the passage.
=> My opinion skimming is the reading technique which we use when we are reading something quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself. -for example when we are in the book store and want to buy a book. we will not read the book from the front to the back. we will just look at the tittle, the author and the information on the back cover of the book. by doing them, we will will know what the book is about.
while scanning is the reading technique which is used when we are reading something quickly to answer the question in our mind. We do it just for looking for the information we need, in the other words, we will pass the sentence which is not important for us. -for example when we are looking at the list of the exam result announcement. we will just look for the name which we want to know. we usually use our pointer to find it, of course by passing the other names. then, when we find it, we will read more information about the name, like the score that he / she gets or others.
=> The expert's definition (From College Reading and Study Skills and Academic Reading and Study Skills for International Students) Skimming refers to the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of the content of a reading selection.
How to Skim: * Read the title. * Read the introduction or the first paragraph. * Read the first sentence of every other paragraph. * Read any headings and sub-headings. * Notice any pictures, charts, or graphs. * Notice any italicized or boldface words or phrases. * Read the summary or last paragraph.

=> The definition: Extensive Reading: It is the view of Palmer (1964) that “extensive reading” is considered as being reading rapidly. The readers read books after books. Its attention is paid to the meaning of the text itself not the language. The purpose of extensive reading is for pleasure and information. Thus, extensive reading is also termed as “supplementary reading”.
Intensive Reading: The work of Palmer (1921) notes that “intensive reading” means that the readers take a text, study it line by line, and refer at very moment to the dictionary about the grammar of the text itself.
=> The differences: *The first difference is that Extensive Reading covers large area, while Intensive Reading covers narrower area. *The second difference is about students’ activity in class. In Extensive Reading the students’ activity is more complex than in Intensive Reading. The students, in Extensive Reading class, usually are asked to write a summary after reading an article/ passage. While in Intensive Reading, instead of writing summary and having presentation, the students are asked to answer some questions related to the topic which is given by the teacher. Usually, all of the answers are available on the text, so that the students only rewrite it. *The last, Extensive Reading will discourage the over- use of dictionary (Bell, 1998); on the contrary dictionary is a must in Intensive Reading.
=> My own opinion Extensive reading is done when we are trying to cover vast amounts of materials, but just skip over the parts we do not know and try to get the general information. It is all about context and the big picture.The texts are often realistic, usually in order to be so productive, these readings have to be adapted somewhat or written by textbook writer. for example when we are reading our favourite novel, we do not need to think over about the grammar, we just try to get the main information. of course, it is done for pleasure.
while Intensive is done when we are studying minute details and trying to get absolutely every drop of information out of a section of text. Intensive reading not a lot of fun for students–they will never learn to love reading if they always have to analyze every text so intensely. for example when we are asking to learn a foreign language article for our test. there are so many strange words there. we have to look for what they mean. it will be boring.

Skimming is reading rapidly in order to get a general overview of the material. In my opinion : It means that while you are reading you just focus to find out about a topic, the main ideas, and the general organization of passage
Example. When you read an article and you try to find main ideas you just focus in the firt paragraph or in the last paragraph the author put on the main ideas or a topic.
Scanning is reading rapidly in order to find specific facts.
In my opinion It means that while you are reading you just focus on finding the first word or specific word.
For example When you want to look for the name of the author' the Author's Name is Thomas so your eyes move quickly to find the first word information.

SKIMMING Definition : Skimming is high-speed reading that can save your time and help you get through lots of material quickly. It is different from other kinds of high-speed reading, such as previewing and scanning. You skim to get the general sense of a passage or book, not specific details. When you skim, you have a general question about the whole text, such as “will this passage be useful to me?” or “what is this writer’s opinion?” or “what is the writer’s purpose or general idea?”. It is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. It is another technique whose purpose is to gain a quick overview in order to identify the main points. So, When you skimming, you will often skip words, sentences, and paragraphs and sometimes not essential to understand each word when skimming
Examples : • The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day) • Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail) • Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
SCANNING Definition ; Scanning is very high-speed reading that you do when you are looking for a specific piece of information. When you scan, you have a question in mind. You do not read every word, only key words that will answer your question. It will help you learn to skip over unimportant words so that you can read faster which is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need.. It involves a process of quickly searching reading materials in order to locate specific bits of information. When scanning you don't start from the beginning and read to the end. And If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning
Examples ; • The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper. • A train / airplane schedule • A conference guide
Opinion : Skimming and scanning are very important reading techniques. In short, skimming refers to looking through material quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself. When you skim, you read through an article three to four times faster than when you read each word. Scanning refers to reading through material to find specific information. When you scan, you run your eyes over text or information to pull out specific words, phrases, or data.

Definition of Skimming and Scanning According to Mackay (1968) Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word; instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research this means to look quickly over a section of text to get a general idea of the meaning. For example, if you were in a shop deciding whether to buy a newspaper, you might very quickly skim the stories to see if they seemed like something you would like to read in more detail. Scanning-looking through a text to find keywords and phrases that are likely to indicate the specific information that you are seeking, then reading just this piece of the text This means to look quickly over the text looking for a specific word(s) or meaning. For example, looking for your name in a list of names, you would scan because you are not interested in getting a general idea of the other people's names. Retrieved from: http://www.englishpracticeonline.com/resources/reading/skimming_and_scanning.html
In my view that, Scanning is a high-speed skill and only read key words. You scan when you are looking for a fact or a detail of word that will answer your question. Skimming is reading quickly for general meaning not specific details For example skimming and scanning People are still reading book, and lots of them. The number of new books published keeps growing-90,000 new tittles in the United States during the last year by the latest industry count. The number is double the total output two decides ago. Reading is still an important part of our lives.
A. What is this passage about? A. The amount of reading people do B. Book reviews C. Leisure time actives D. A popular new book B. How many new books were published in the United States? A. 60.000 B. 900 C. 9.000 D. 90.000 Explanation: The correct answer to question 1 is (A) the amount of reading people do. By reading the first sentence of the passage you find the phrases reading books and lots of them. As you quickly read the rest of the paragraph you find this words and ideas repeated in different ways. you could answer the question by quickly skimming the passage for the general idea. The correct answer to question 2 is (D) 90.000. The question asks how many, and this tell you to look for a number. By scanning the passage for a number, you are able to find the correct answer of 90.000.
* the expert's definition skimming means reading quickly for general meaning. scanning means knowing what information you need to find before you read.
* in my opinion skimming means reading general information t find the main idea, topic and general organization of a passage. scanning means reading specific information to find the detail word.
the example of skimming and scanning is when we read the reading section of TOEFL, because it is a timed reading situation. reading quickly for meaning is extremely important in order to finish the test and to answer question correctly.

Hasan Sadiqin (08 25 015) skimming is a type of rapid reading which is used when the reader wants to get the main idea or ideas from a pessage.
Scanning is a type of speed reading technique which is used when the reader wants to locate a particular piece of information without necessarily understanding the rest of a text or passage.
in my opinion, scanning is used to find a specific information. For example: We read a copy of someone's Identity card (in Bahasa means KTP) then we find out the information about his or her blood.
and skimming is a technique of reading where it is used to find the main idea from a text, for example: the reader find out the writer's argument about something (agree or disagree).

Scanning a text, a reader quickly searches for some particular piece or pieces of information in a text. (Brown, 2001) Scanning is more a limited activity, only retrieving information relevant to a purpose. • Scanning ia a quick reading, focusing on locating specific information. • Scanning involves quick eye movements, not necessarily linear in fashion, in which the eyes wander until the reader finds the piece of information needed. • Scanning is used when a specific piece of information is required, such as a name, date, symbol, formula, or phrase, is required. The reader knows what the item looks like and so, knows when he has located what he was searching for. It is assumed then, that very little information is processed into long-term memory or even for immediate understanding because the objective is simply matching. Activities • Activities may include exercises that are devised by the teacher in which students scan for a single word or specific text . • Activities may include exercises that are often carried on as a competition so students will work quickly. • Students use skills of prediction and anticipation. Students may do any of the following: - make predictions and guesses - use titles and tables of contents to get an idea of what a passage is about
My interpretation : Scanning speed reading Scanning is the first thing that you do when you select a resource. It answers the question: - Is this the right resource to help me find the answers to my questions? you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions.
For example, scanning a telephone book: • You are looking for it quickly. • You know what you are searching for (key words and names). • You 'see' every item on the page, but you don't necessarily read the pages - you ignore anything you are not looking for. Thus, when you discover the key words being searched for, you will be unable to recall the exact content of the page.
Skimming In skimming a text, a reader quickly runs his eyes over the text to get the gist. (Brown, 2001) Skimming involves a thorough overview of a text and implies a reading competence.
• Skimming is a quick reading to get: - to know the general meaning of a passage - to know how the passage is organized, that is, the structure of the text - to get an idea of the intention of the writer • Skimming is a more complex task than scanning because it requires the reader to organize and remember some of the information given by the author, not just to locate it. • Skimming is a tool in which the author's sequence can be observed, unlike scanning in which some predetermined information is sought after. Activities • Students must locate facts that are expressed in sentences, not single words. • Although speed is essential and the teacher often sets a time limit to the activity, skimming should not be done competitively. Students should be encouraged individually to better themselves. • To improve skimming, readers should read more and more rapidly, to form appropriate questions and predictions and then read quickly • Pugh (1978) suggests that to assess skimming, after the students have read and completed the assigned questions, further questions may be asked, "beyond the scope of the purpose originally set". If students can answer these questions correctly, it indicates they have read the text too closely.
My interpretation : Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read quickly to gain a general impression as to whether the text is of use to you. You are not necessarily searching for a specific item and key words. Skimming provides an 'overview' of the text.
For example, Skimming novel harry potter Skimming is useful to look at chapter/section headings, summaries and opening paragraphs. - you can first skim over the chapter and section titles to give you an idea of when the material is about. - You are looking for opening paragraphs.
Brown (1994) suggest ed that "perhaps the two most valuable reading strategies for learners as well as native speakers are skimming and scanning." (p.283) Pugh (1978) suggested that since scanning is a less complex style of reading it can be introduced first. Skimming requires greater fluency and more practice is required, so it should be introduced later. Often skimming and scanning are used together when reading a text. For example, the reader may skim through first to see if it is worth reading, then read it more carefully and scan for a specific piece of information to note. Students need to learn that they need to adapt their reading and techniques to the purpose of the reading. By practicing skimming and scanning, the individual learns to read and select specific information without focussing on information that is not important for meaning.

Name : IDA ZAHARA NIM : 08 25 0019 Skimming and Scanning Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming.
Examples of Skimming: • The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day) • Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail) • Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed) In my opinion, skimming is read quickly to get the important information from newspaper, book or etc that we read.
• Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim it.
• Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning.
Examples of Scanning: • The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper. • A train / airplane schedule • A conference guide In my opinion, scanning is to find the specific details that we are require when we are looking for something in our reading, like to looking up difficult words in a dictionary or the other. http://www.42explore.com/skim.htm http://www.activelp.net/a/02d01h.php
Name : Yuniasari NIM :08 25 0059 Skimming is the process of reading to find out the main ideas of the text (Readsmart, 2011) Skimming is the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of the content of a reading selection. Example: - see whether a magazine article will be worth reading - see whether an academic article is going to be relevant for your task - read through a new recipe - read a front-line text which is relevant but not central to your task Scanning is looking at a text quickly to find specific information. (Readsmart, 2011) Scanning is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information. Example: - look up the meaning of a word in a dictionary - find a phone number - look for a particular reference in a reference list of an article - check particular details of an incident reported in a newspaper article - check what research methods the authors of a research report article used Reference: Retreated from http://www.ehow.com/about_6533094_reading-skills_-scanning-vs_-skimming.html http://www.networkedcranfield.com/logicofenquiry/gst/Reading/Pages/Readingstrategies.aspx Readsmart. 2011.

Name : IDA ZAHARA NIM : 08 25 0019 Extensive and Intensive Reading • Extensive reading is reading as much as possible, for your own pleasure, at a difficulty level at which you can read smoothly and quickly without looking up words or translating to English as you go. In other words, instead of spending a half hour decoding a tiny part of one book (also known as intensive reading), you read many simpler books that are at or slightly below the level at which you read fluently. This lets you get used to reading more complex sentences with ease, reinforces the words you already know and helps you learn new words from context. • Extensive is when we try to cover vast amounts of materials, but just skip over the parts we don’t know and try to get the general gist of things. It’s all about context and the big picture. Once we get awesome, we can just sit down and read a book and understand everything, and we’re still doing an extensive exercise. Example: Read a novel In my opinion, Extensive reading is reading a lot for pleasure at a fairly easy level with emphasis on general understanding without the use of a dictionary.
Intensive reading is reading carefully for an exact understanding of text. In practical life, acquired intensive reading skills are used for comprehension of contracts, business letters, memorandums, application forms and legal documents. Intensive reading is about studying minute details and trying to wring absolutely every drop of information out of a section of text. Example The learners read a short text and put events from it into chronological order. In my opinion intensive reading is involves the readers reading in detail with specific learning aims and tasks.

- the expert's definition Scanning: The kind of technique we use when looking up a word in a dictionary or in the Yellow Pages. You know what you are looking for so you are searching for that keyword or idea (you expect to find); i.e. you’re focused on finding a particular answer. When I scan a text, I look for words that are bold faced, italics, or in a different font size, style, or color.
Skimming: The kind of technique we use when reading a newspaper or magazine. We don’t know we are looking for yet but we want to know what the text is about, to see if it is of interest. What do I do to skim a text? It’s a personal decision, but what I usually do is to read the heading or subheading and check the illustrations and images, if any. Then I read the first and last lines of each paragraph.
- my opinion scanning is high speed reading to look for information that we need by using key words. e.g when look for word on the telephone book or dictionary.
skimming is done at a speed three to four time faster than normal reading that useful when you want to survey a text to get a general of what it is about. in skimming you ignore the details and look for the main ideas. e.g when u read newspaper, you are not probably not reading it word by word, instead you are scanning the text.
SKIMMING Definition : Skimming is high-speed reading that can save your time and help you get through lots of material quickly. It is different from other kinds of high-speed reading, such as previewing and scanning. You skim to get the general sense of a passage or book, not specific details. When you skim, you have a general question about the whole text, such as “will this passage be useful to me?” or “what is this writer’s opinion?” or “what is the writer’s purpose or general idea?”. It is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. It is another technique whose purpose is to gain a quick overview in order to identify the main points. So, When you skimming, you will often skip words, sentences, and paragraphs and sometimes not essential to understand each word when skimming
Examples : • The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day) • Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail) • Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
SCANNING Definition ; Scanning is very high-speed reading that you do when you are looking for a specific piece of information. When you scan, you have a question in mind. You do not read every word, only key words that will answer your question. It will help you learn to skip over unimportant words so that you can read faster which is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need.. It involves a process of quickly searching reading materials in order to locate specific bits of information. When scanning you don't start from the beginning and read to the end. And If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning
Examples ; • The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper. • A train / airplane schedule • A conference guide
Opinion : Skimming and scanning are very important reading techniques. In short, skimming refers to looking through material quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself. When you skim, you read through an article three to four times faster than when you read each word. Scanning refers to reading through material to find specific information. When you scan, you run your eyes over text or information to pull out specific words, phrases, or data.

My interpretation : Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read quickly to gain a general impression as to whether the text is of use to you. You are not necessarily searching for a specific item and key words. Skimming provides an 'overview' of the text.
For example, Skimming novel harry potter Skimming is useful to look at chapter/section headings, summaries and opening paragraphs. - you can first skim over the chapter and section titles to give you an idea of when the material is about. - You are looking for opening paragraphs.
Brown (1994) suggest ed that "perhaps the two most valuable reading strategies for learners as well as native speakers are skimming and scanning." (p.283) Pugh (1978) suggested that since scanning is a less complex style of reading it can be introduced first. Skimming requires greater fluency and more practice is required, so it should be introduced later. Often skimming and scanning are used together when reading a text. For example, the reader may skim through first to see if it is worth reading, then read it more carefully and scan for a specific piece of information to note. Students need to learn that they need to adapt their reading and techniques to the purpose of the reading. By practicing skimming and scanning, the individual learns to read and select specific information without focussing on information that is not important for meaning.
Scanning a text, a reader quickly searches for some particular piece or pieces of information in a text. (Brown, 2001) Scanning is more a limited activity, only retrieving information relevant to a purpose. • Scanning ia a quick reading, focusing on locating specific information. • Scanning involves quick eye movements, not necessarily linear in fashion, in which the eyes wander until the reader finds the piece of information needed. • Scanning is used when a specific piece of information is required, such as a name, date, symbol, formula, or phrase, is required. The reader knows what the item looks like and so, knows when he has located what he was searching for. It is assumed then, that very little information is processed into long-term memory or even for immediate understanding because the objective is simply matching. Activities • Activities may include exercises that are devised by the teacher in which students scan for a single word or specific text . • Activities may include exercises that are often carried on as a competition so students will work quickly. • Students use skills of prediction and anticipation. Students may do any of the following: - make predictions and guesses - use titles and tables of contents to get an idea of what a passage is about
My interpretation : Scanning speed reading Scanning is the first thing that you do when you select a resource. It answers the question: - Is this the right resource to help me find the answers to my questions? you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions.
For example, scanning a telephone book: • You are looking for it quickly. • You know what you are searching for (key words and names). • You 'see' every item on the page, but you don't necessarily read the pages - you ignore anything you are not looking for. Thus, when you discover the key words being searched for, you will be unable to recall the exact content of the page.
Skimming In skimming a text, a reader quickly runs his eyes over the text to get the gist. (Brown, 2001) Skimming involves a thorough overview of a text and implies a reading competence.

# Scanning The expert states that Scanning looking through a text to find keywords and phrases that are likely to indicate the specific information that you are seeking, then reading just this piece of the text. For examples: • look up the meaning of a word in a dictionary • look for a particular reference in a reference list of an article • check particular details of an incident reported in a newspaper article • check what research methods the authors of a research report article used In my opinion, Scanning is fairly simple skill that involves only a visual search for information on a page and finn the review of a particular text to find a specific piece of information.
# Skimming The expert states that s a good "pre-reading" technique, but is not "dynamic speed reading" in itself. Again it can be a single tool in the speed reader's toolkit, but is incomplete as a way to describe speed reading. For example: • see whether a magazine article will be worth reading • see whether an academic article is going to be relevant for your task • read through a new recipe • read a front-line text which is relevant but not central to your task In my opinion, skimming is reading selectively because we only read certain part of the text and involves processing text for ideas which requires far more complex thinking skill.
Name : IDA ZAHARA NIM : 08 25 0019 Skimming and Scanning Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming.
Examples of Skimming: • The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day) • Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail) • Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed) In my opinion, skimming is read quickly to get the important information from newspaper, book or etc that we read.
• Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim it.
• Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning.
Examples of Scanning: • The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper. • A train / airplane schedule • A conference guide In my opinion, scanning is to find the specific details that we are require when we are looking for something in our reading, like to looking up difficult words in a dictionary or the other.

Name : Isa Nurhyati Nim : 0825023 SKIMMING AND SCANNING READING STRATEGY 1. Definition of skimming Skimming is high-speed reading that can save your time and help you get through lots of material quickly. You skim to get general sense of a passage or book, not specific details. Skimming is useful when you want to survey a text to get a general idea of what it is about. In skimming you ignore the details and look for the main ideas. Main ideas are usually found in the first sentences of each paragraph and in the first and last paragraphs. It is also useful to pay attention to the organisation of the text. Skimming a text for gist can help you formulate questions to keep you interacting with the text. For example : Nicky Hart argues that the increasing divorce rate can be seen as a 'product of conflict between the changing economic system and its social and ideological superstructure (notably the family)'. In advanced capitalist industrial societies, there is an increasing demand for cheap female wage labour. Wives are encouraged to take up paid employment not only because of the demand for their services, but also because the capitalist controlled media has raised 'material aspirations' - the demand for goods that families desire. These material aspirations can only be satisfied by both spouses working as wage earners. However, conflict results from the contradiction between female wage labour and the normative expectations which surround married life. 'Working wives' are still expected to be primarily responsible for housework and raising children. In addition, they are still expected, to some degree, to play a subservient role to the male head of the household. These normative expectations contradict the wife's role a wage earner since she is now sharing the economic burden with her husband. Conflict between the spouses can result from this contradiction, and conflict can lead to marital breakdown. Is this an 'explanation' text? Yes No From the existing example, we can conclude that skimming is finding a general point of the text. So, in my opinion skimming is the way/method to get the general sense of the text or book. We need to read whole quickly to know the text or book, but we just take the general information of it. 2. Definition of scanning Scanning is very high-speed reading that you do when you are looking for a specific piece of information. In my opinion, When you scan, you have a question in mind. You do not read every word, only key words tht will answer your question. Practice in scanning will help you learn to skip over unimportant words so that you can read faster. Example : Reading or finding a cheapest car in the car advertisement. References : Haralambos, M. (1995) Sociology, Themes and Perspectives, 3rd edition. London: Bell and Hyman pp. 364-5. http://www.monash.edu.au/lls/llonline/writing/general/essay/selected-readings/3.xml

a. SCANNING Scanning involves a process of quickly searching reading materials in order to locate specific bits of information. When scanning you don't start from the beginning and read to the end.

First, they are an aid in locating new terms, which are introduced in the chapter. Secondly, scanning is useful in locating statements, definitions, formulas, etc How to do it 1) Visualize thing to be spotted – get clear mental picture of the words 2) Use all available clues--capital letters, hyphens, italics, synonyms, key words 3) Use paragraph topical clues, such as words in boldface or italics 4) Use systematic scanning patterns a) Run eyes rapidly down middle of column using a zig-zag motion b) Use wider side-by-side movement for solid pages of prin b.

• Skimming is a quick reading to get: - to know the general meaning of a passage - to know how the passage is organized, that is, the structure of the text - to get an idea of the intention of the writer • Skimming is a more complex task than scanning because it requires the reader to organize and remember some of the information given by the author, not just to locate it. • Skimming is a tool in which the author's sequence can be observed, unlike scanning in which some predetermined information is sought after. Activities • Students must locate facts that are expressed in sentences, not single words. • Although speed is essential and the teacher often sets a time limit to the activity, skimming should not be done competitively. Students should be encouraged individually to better themselves. • To improve skimming, readers should read more and more rapidly, to form appropriate questions and predictions and then read quickly • Pugh (1978) suggests that to assess skimming, after the students have read and completed the assigned questions, further questions may be asked, "beyond the scope of the purpose originally set". If students can answer these questions correctly, it indicates they have read the text too closely.
My interpretation : Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read quickly to gain a general impression as to whether the text is of use to you. You are not necessarily searching for a specific item and key words. Skimming provides an 'overview' of the text.
For example, Skimming novel harry potter Skimming is useful to look at chapter/section headings, summaries and opening paragraphs. - you can first skim over the chapter and section titles to give you an idea of when the material is about. - You are looking for opening paragraphs.
Brown (1994) suggest ed that "perhaps the two most valuable reading strategies for learners as well as native speakers are skimming and scanning." (p.283) Pugh (1978) suggested that since scanning is a less complex style of reading it can be introduced first. Skimming requires greater fluency and more practice is required, so it should be introduced later. Often skimming and scanning are used together when reading a text. For example, the reader may skim through first to see if it is worth reading, then read it more carefully and scan for a specific piece of information to note. Students need to learn that they need to adapt their reading and techniques to the purpose of the reading. By practicing skimming and scanning, the individual learns to read and select specific information without focussing on information that is not important for meaning.

Scanning a text, a reader quickly searches for some particular piece or pieces of information in a text. (Brown, 2001) Scanning is more a limited activity, only retrieving information relevant to a purpose. • Scanning ia a quick reading, focusing on locating specific information. • Scanning involves quick eye movements, not necessarily linear in fashion, in which the eyes wander until the reader finds the piece of information needed. • Scanning is used when a specific piece of information is required, such as a name, date, symbol, formula, or phrase, is required. The reader knows what the item looks like and so, knows when he has located what he was searching for. It is assumed then, that very little information is processed into long-term memory or even for immediate understanding because the objective is simply matching. Activities • Activities may include exercises that are devised by the teacher in which students scan for a single word or specific text . • Activities may include exercises that are often carried on as a competition so students will work quickly. • Students use skills of prediction and anticipation. Students may do any of the following: - make predictions and guesses - use titles and tables of contents to get an idea of what a passage is about
My interpretation : Scanning speed reading Scanning is the first thing that you do when you select a resource. It answers the question: - Is this the right resource to help me find the answers to my questions? you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions.
For example, scanning a telephone book: • You are looking for it quickly. • You know what you are searching for (key words and names). • You 'see' every item on the page, but you don't necessarily read the pages - you ignore anything you are not looking for. Thus, when you discover the key words being searched for, you will be unable to recall the exact content of the page.

SKIMMING Definition : Skimming is high-speed reading that can save your time and help you get through lots of material quickly. It is different from other kinds of high-speed reading, such as previewing and scanning. You skim to get the general sense of a passage or book, not specific details. When you skim, you have a general question about the whole text, such as “will this passage be useful to me?” or “what is this writer’s opinion?” or “what is the writer’s purpose or general idea?”. It is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. It is another technique whose purpose is to gain a quick overview in order to identify the main points. So, When you skimming, you will often skip words, sentences, and paragraphs and sometimes not essential to understand each word when skimming
Examples : • The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day) • Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail) • Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
SCANNING Definition ; Scanning is very high-speed reading that you do when you are looking for a specific piece of information. When you scan, you have a question in mind. You do not read every word, only key words that will answer your question. It will help you learn to skip over unimportant words so that you can read faster which is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need.. It involves a process of quickly searching reading materials in order to locate specific bits of information. When scanning you don't start from the beginning and read to the end. And If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning
Examples ; • The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper. • A train / airplane schedule • A conference guide
Opinion : Skimming and scanning are very important reading techniques. In short, skimming refers to looking through material quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself. When you skim, you read through an article three to four times faster than when you read each word. Scanning refers to reading through material to find specific information. When you scan, you run your eyes over text or information to pull out specific words, phrases, or data.

a. SCANNING Scanning involves a process of quickly searching reading materials in order to locate specific bits of information. When scanning you don't start from the beginning and read to the end. Instead, what you do is jump around in the text, trying to find the information you need Scanning involves running your eyes down the page looking for specific facts or Key words and phrases. First, they are an aid in locating new terms, which are introduced in the chapter. Secondly, scanning is useful in locating statements, definitions, formulas, etc How to do it 1) Visualize thing to be spotted – get clear mental picture of the words 2) Use all available clues--capital letters, hyphens, italics, synonyms, key words 3) Use paragraph topical clues, such as words in boldface or italics 4) Use systematic scanning patterns a) Run eyes rapidly down middle of column using a zig-zag motion b) Use wider side-by-side movement for solid pages of prin
b. SKIMMING Skimming is another technique whose purpose is to gain a quick overview in order to identify the main points. When skimming, you will often skip words, sentences, and paragraphs. When you are satisfied you have a general understanding of the author's main ideas and key points, you put the reading material aside. Skimming involves searching for the main ideas by reading the first and last paragraphs, noting other organizational cues, such as summaries, used by the author. How to do it 1) Read first sentence of paragraph 2) Read last sentence of paragraph 3) Read key words in between Two skimming patterns: a) For formal style typical of most text books (with long involved sentences and long paragraphs: read using 3 steps outlined above) b) For informal style (shorter sentences and paragraphs) read using first two steps only
In My Opinion: Scanning: to help find one specific bit of information within a relatively large body of Information Skimming: concentrates your attention on the essentials of a paragraph or series of paragraphs

SKIMMING AND SCANNING Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
There are many strategies that can be used when skimming. Some people read the first and last paragraphs using headings, summarizes and other organizers as they move down the page or screen. You might read the title, subtitles, subheading, and illustrations. Consider reading the first sentence of each paragraph. This technique is useful when you're seeking specific information rather than reading for comprehension. Skimming works well to find dates, names, and places. It might be used to review graphs, tables, and charts.
Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim it.
When scanning, look for the author's use of organizers such as numbers, letters, steps, or the words, first, second, or next. Look for words that are bold faced, italics, or in a different font size, style, or color. Sometimes the author will put key ideas in the margin.
Reading off a computer screen has become a growing concern. Research shows that people have more difficulty reading off a computer screen than off paper. Although they can read and comprehend at the same rate as paper, skimming on the computer is much slower than on paper.
SKIMMING Recall how you find a name in a telephone book? You don't read any more than necessary to find the name you seek. Notice that you go directly down a column of news. Maybe you use your finger to guide your eyes. This type of reading is usually called scanning. Skimming uses the same type of skill mechanically but a different skill mentally. In scanning, you know what you are looking for. In skimming you don't. Since you don't know exactly what you are looking for while skimming, prepare yourself by reading the title, source, author, and picture: then you question yourself, -- who, what, when, where is this likely to be mainly about? With a questioning mind you direct your eyes down the column of print, or in a zig-zag, if the lines are quite long. Look for exact names of people, places, things, ideas, numbers, and words like therefore, whenever, until, because, and instead, to clue you to how and why. When you first start to learn to skim you may see only the words in bold type, italics, digits, or capitalized words. Soon you will note new or unusual vocabulary. As you become an efficient skimmer your span of perception will develop and your ability to make closure will increase. Skimming is a step you should always take before you read any article of factual or practical narrative. You will soon be able to detect most important facts, strange vocabulary, and words that are clues to important relationships. It's a good practice to skim everything in mass media after reading the title and first paragraph. You may get all the information you want. This keeps your skimming skills from deteriorating, or will give you the practice you need to develop necessary skills. Skim everything you intend to read before you make a final decision to read, discard, or study the material.
SKIMMING Definition : Skimming is high-speed reading that can save your time and help you get through lots of material quickly. It is different from other kinds of high-speed reading, such as previewing and scanning. You skim to get the general sense of a passage or book, not specific details. When you skim, you have a general question about the whole text, such as “will this passage be useful to me?” or “what is this writer’s opinion?” or “what is the writer’s purpose or general idea?”. It is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. It is another technique whose purpose is to gain a quick overview in order to identify the main points. So, When you skimming, you will often skip words, sentences, and paragraphs and sometimes not essential to understand each word when skimming

Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming.
Examples of Skimming: • The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day) • Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail) • Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed) In my opinion, skimming is read quickly to get the important information from newspaper, book or etc that we read.

Examples of Scanning: • The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper. • A train / airplane schedule • A conference guide In my opinion, scanning is to find the specific details that we are require when we are looking for something in our reading, like to looking up difficult words in a dictionary or the other.

# Scanning The expert states that Scanning looking through a text to find keywords and phrases that are likely to indicate the specific information that you are seeking, then reading just this piece of the text. For examples: • look up the meaning of a word in a dictionary • look for a particular reference in a reference list of an article • check particular details of an incident reported in a newspaper article • check what research methods the authors of a research report article used In my opinion, Scanning is fairly simple skill that involves only a visual search for information on a page and finn the review of a particular text to find a specific piece of information.
# Skimming The expert states that s a good "pre-reading" technique, but is not "dynamic speed reading" in itself. Again it can be a single tool in the speed reader's toolkit, but is incomplete as a way to describe speed reading. For example: • see whether a magazine article will be worth reading • see whether an academic article is going to be relevant for your task • read through a new recipe • read a front-line text which is relevant but not central to your task In my opinion, skimming is reading selectively because we only read certain part of the text and involves processing text for ideas which requires far more complex thinking skill.
1. Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research. Example of Skimming:
#1: Students read the headline and the first sentence of each paragraph of an article. They then pair up to discuss the guessed-at topic of the article.
Idea #2: Students read the first paragraph and the last paragraph of the article. They then work in pairs to discuss the guessed-at contents of the piece.
Idea #3: Students have two minutes to read the article. Of course, they won't be able to complete the piece, especially if they try to read each word. After two minutes, students get into pairs to discuss the contents of the piece. Additional points may also be discussed, such as overall tone (humorous, serious, persuasive), whether the writer supports or opposes the main idea. 2.Scanning is used when a specific piece of information is required, such as a name, date, symbol, formula, or phrase, is required. The reader knows what the item looks like and so, knows when he has located what he was searching for. It is assumed then, that very little information is processed into long-term memory or even for immediate understanding because the objective is simply matching. Example of Scanning: Idea #1: Several content-specific questions are written on the board before students receive the article. Students read through the text and answer the questions. Idea #2: Key vocabulary words are written on the board before students receive the article. Students read through the text and circle the words, then read the sentence for each word for context. Idea #3: You read aloud the beginning of a sentence. Students must go through the article, find the sentence, and read it aloud.

Skimming and Scanning Reading Strategies
Skimming: Skimming involves looking through a book or article and reading only the main parts. The purpose of skimming is to reduce reading time: When skimming, you should read at approximately twice your average reading speed.
Scanning: Scanning is a very quick search for some important points for specific information. In this kind of reading, your eyes move quickly over the words for figures until you find the exact information you are looking for. As your eyes move down the page, keep in mind what you are looking for and ignore everything else.
My interpretations:
Skimming : To give a quick and superficial reading, scrutiny, or consideration; glance. Examples of Skimming: contents, headings, introductions, summaries and conclusions. With skimming, you are trying to get a general impression of the material.
Scanning : To look over quickly and systematically; to look over or leaf through hastily. Examples of Scanning: • finding a name in the telephone book • looking up a word in a dictionary

Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.

• Scanning is a valuable skill for second language learners to develop because often they do not require a detailed read of a text. There are many everyday uses for scanning, relevant to a purpose, such as reading a schedule. Scanning is used often with technical, scientific or professional materials to locate specific information • Skimming is a quick reading to get: - to know the general meaning of a passage - to know how the passage is organized, that is, the structure of the text - to get an idea of the intention of the writer
Skimming and scanning are two different reading skills. Skimming means looking at a text or chapter quickly in order to have a general idea of the contents. Scanning means looking at a text to find some particular information. For example, we skim through a report to have a rough idea of what it says but we scan a page of the telephone directory to find a particular name or number. References : Retrieved from :http://www.42explore.com/skim.htm Retrieved from : http://fis.ucalgary.ca/Brian/611/readingtype.html#scanning In my opinion : Scanning ia a quick reading, focusing on locating specific information. Skimming is a quick reading to get some general question in mind.
1. Skimming According to Rie Busten (2009:20) explanation of skimming refers to “reading quickly to gain a general impression as to whether the text is of use to you. You are not necessarily searching for a specific item because it only provides an “overview” of the text”.
In my opinion skimming is we read very quick the text to get main idea of the meaning within a passage
For example, if you were in a shop deciding whether to buy a newspaper, you might very quickly skim the stories to see if they seemed like something you would like to read in more detail.
2. Scanning According to Rie Busten (2009:21) explanation of scanning “you scan to locate a single fact or a specific bit of information without reading everything in the whole text material, or even in just a chapter”
In my opinion scanning is reading quickly to get specific information we a question in our mind and we read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.
For example, looking for your name in a list of names, you would scan because you are not interested in getting a general idea of the other people's names.
1.Skimming According to Kerstin Luck (2008: 307) explanation of skimming involves “searching for main ideas in the foreign language by reading, for example, the first and last paragraphs and noting summaries, conclusions, and suggestions by the author”. In my opinion : Skimming is reading quickly to find main idea of what we are reading. Example: You quickly go through a twenty page reports in a few minute, and determine the overall subjects, tone, and a few key points.
2. Scanning According to Kerstin Luck (2008: 308) explanation of “scanning involves running 'one's eyes down the page,' looking for important facts or key aspects”. In my opinion: Scanning is finding specific information in a text Example: You open the classified section of a newspaper, find the automobile section, and then mark a few cars within your price range.

SCANNING Definition ; Scanning is very high-speed reading that you do when you are looking for a specific piece of information. When you scan, you have a question in mind. You do not read every word, only key words that will answer your question. It will help you learn to skip over unimportant words so that you can read faster which is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need.. It involves a process of quickly searching reading materials in order to locate specific bits of information. When scanning you don't start from the beginning and read to the end. And If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning my opinion : to help find one specific bit of information within a relatively large body of Information example : The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper
SKIMMING definiton : skimming is used to quickly find the main ideas of a text, and that skimming is often done at a speed three to four times faster than normal critical reading speed. skimming is when you go through a piece of text to get a general idea of what it is about. eg. magazine reading. Skimming refers to reading through a passage with great precision. The reader will be looking for clues and evidence so as to help him interpret what exactly in detail was happening and etc. Skimming means reading quickly for general meaning. You skim reading material to find out about topic, the main idea, and generic structure of passage. my opinion : skimming is reading by rapidly to find out about the main idea of the text example : The Newspaper *quickly to get the general news of the day*

For example, looking for your name in a list of names, you would scan because you are not interested in getting a general idea of the other people's names.
1. Efficient reading According to Grabe (2009: 14) explanation of efficient reading is “not only refers to a high reading rate, but also to integrated application of different reading skills, to recognize words and syntax, to form a meaning, to get text comprehension, to infer, to evaluate critically, and to link to previous background knowledge”.
Based on the explanation above, I assume that efficient reading is not only reading faster, but they are also reading with better comprehension. Example : for example, if one was to read a novel while slowly backing over a box full of kittens (not illegal by the way, if it were a box of puppies however that's a different story)
2. Effective reading According to Grau (1997:32) Serrejon (1995:46-47) and Sole (1992) explanation of effective reading is “reading quickly, understand what he or she reads, adapts reading speed and comprehension to the type of text being read and one’s intent or purpose in reading, and remember well what has been read”
Based on the explanation above, I assume that effective reading is : to help us decide whether a book is useful for our purpose, and to help us locate relevant information Example : • Quickly survey each chapter that you intend to read, looking at paragraph headings and try to see how each relates to the main topic or idea or even sub-topic. • Look out for and make a note of (using highlighters or asterisks) any key sentences – underline or highlight any key words or phrases.

Name : Risna Jumaria NIM :08250049 Skimming and scanning are reading strategies that can assist a reader in getting specific information from the text. Students should be taught appropriate times to skim or scan, such as looking for a specific answer, and inappropriate times to use scanning or skimming, such as when reading to comprehend. Skimming is a reading technique that is used to get a quick “gist” of a section or chapter. Scanning is a reading technique that is reading quickly to locate specific information. You can first introduce skimming and scanning by brainstorming a list of textual clues that will help students, such as bold-face type, capital letters, dates, key words, etc. Practice skimming and scanning can be practiced with short passages to gain mastery. reference: http://www.online-distance-learning-education.com/article_info.php?articles_id=53
Reading strategies: scanning, skimming and intensive reading
You will probably be aware that you are already skilled in using different reading strategies for different purposes in your daily life. You may feel less confident about doing this in your academic studies: maybe you read everything too thoroughly. Or perhaps you have become too confident and have discovered from the feedback from your tutor or supervisor that you do not read key texts thoroughly enough. It is important to match your reading strategy to the reading purpose.
You may find it useful to think in terms of three main reading strategies: • scanning - looking through a text to find keywords and phrases that are likely to indicate the specific information that you are seeking, then reading just this piece of the text (situations 1 and 2 above) • skimming - reading just those parts of a text that are most likely to indicate what the authors are talking about at different points in order to gain an overview of the content (situations 3 and 4) • intensive reading - reading through every word of a text from beginning to end (situations 5 and 6) For many reading purposes in academic work you may have noticed that you use more than one strategy in sequence. For a particular text that turns out to be centrally important for your reading purpose, the sequence might be: • scan the title and abstract to see whether the text is likely to be at all relevant • scan through parts of the content to see whether particular details in the text confirm that it will be relevant • skim the text to gain an overview of its content and confirm how centrally relevant it is • intensively read the whole text since it clearly is centrally relevant, so as to understand and evaluate its content in depth A secret of efficient reading, that will soon become automatic if you consciously do it for every text, is to check how well the reading strategy you are going to use next fits your reading purpose. • Check your reading purpose and then use scanning, skimming or intensive reading - either on their own or in sequence - as required to achieve this purpose. There are many textbooks and websites that offer general guidance on reading strategies. Some include practical exercises to help you improve your skills. If search with your website browser using keywords such as ‘skim read’ or ‘scan skim’ will lead you to plenty of sites. AIM REASERCH REFERENCES:

skimming and scanning Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research. There are many strategies that can be used when skimming. Some people read the first and last paragraphs using headings, summarizes and other organizers as they move down the page or screen. You might read the title, subtitles, subheading, and illustrations. Consider reading the first sentence of each paragraph. This technique is useful when you're seeking specific
information rather than reading for comprehension. Skimming works well to find dates, names, and places. It might be used to review graphs, tables, and charts. Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim My opinion Skimming is a technique to identify the main ideas from the text. If you read a text, you don't need to read word by word and also sentence by sentence,because it will be lost your time.For example:You quickly go through a twenty-page report in a few minutes, and determine the overall subject, tone, and a few key points. Scanning is a technique to looking for the key word or ideas. Because you just concentrate the key word or idea. And it also help the reader to determine wether it will answer your question.for example:You open the classified section of a newspaper, find the automobile section,and then mark a few cars within your price range http://www.42explore.com/skim.htm

Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming. Examples of Skimming: • The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day) • Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail) • Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed) Scanning Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning. Examples of Scanning • The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper. • A train / airplane schedule • A conference guide References: Beare Kenneth.Retrieved from:http://esl.about.com/od/englishreadingskills/a/readingskills.htm

SKIMMING AND SCANNING READING STRATEGY
Leticiaeoimairena ( 2009 : 11 ) states that Skimming and scanning are two specific speed-reading strategies, which enable you to use rapid eye movement and keywords to move quickly through text for slightly different purposes. Skimming is a method of reading rapidly in order to get a general overview of the material. Skimming is like snorkeling. A. Skimming is useful in three different situations. They are : 1. Previewing (reading before you read) 2. Reviewing (reading after you read) 3. Determining the main idea from a long selection you don't wish to read, or when trying to find source material for a research paper. Scanning is reading rapidly in order to find specific facts. Scanning is more like pearl diving. Use scanning in research to find particular facts, to study fact-heavy topics, and to answer questions requiring factual support. Scanning is very useful for finding a specific name, date, statistic, or fact without reading the entire article.

Elena Ben (2007 .1) mentioned Scanning: The kind of technique we use when looking up a word in a dictionary or in the Yellow Pages. You know what you are looking for so you are searching for that keyword or idea (you expect to find); i.e. you’re focused on finding a particular answer. When I scan a text, I look for words that are bold faced, italics, or in a different font size, style, or color. Skimming: The kind of technique we use when reading a newspaper or magazine. We don’t know we are looking for yet but we want to know what the text is about, to see if it is of interest. What do I do to skim a text? It’s a personal decision, but what I usually do is to read the heading or subheading and check the illustrations and images, if any. Then I read the first and last lines of each paragraph. Based on the explanation above it can assumed that scanning is high speed reading to look for information that we need by using key words (e.g when look for word on the telephone book or dictionary). And skimming is done at a speed three to four time faster than normal reading that useful when you want to survey a text to get a general of what it is about. in skimming you ignore the details and look for the main ideas.

Kanchana Prapphal (2005: 1) states that, skimming refers to the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of the content of a reading selection. While scanning, is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.
From her definition, it can be assumed that, skimming is the reading technique which we use when we are reading something quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself. For example when we are in the book store and want to buy a book. we will not read the book from the front to the back. We will just look at the title, the author and the information on the back cover of the book. By doing these, we will know what the book is about. While scanning, is the reading technique which is used when we are reading something quickly to answer the question in our mind. We do it just for looking for the information we need, in the other word, we will pass the sentence which is not important for us. For example when we are looking at the list of the exam result announcement. We will just look for the name which we want to know. We usually use our pointer to find it, of course by passing the other names. Then, when we find it, we will read more information about the name, like the score that he / she gets or others.
REVISE NAMA : AKHIROTUL FAIZATIN NISA' NIM : 0825004 NO :4 Scanning n Skimming According to Jack C. Richards at all states that scanning is a type of speed reading technique which is used when the reader wants to locate a particular piece of information without necessarily understanding the rest of a text or passage. And skimming is a type of rapid reading which is used when the reader wants to get the main idea or ideas from a passage From definition it can be assumed that skimming is a technique the reader to find the main idea in the text but scanning is a technique the reader to find specific or key word in the text without look at grammatical words. Adopted from: Jack C. Richards, John Platt and Heidi Platt. Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics. Longman: 322.
NOVALYA LAYUNG SARI (36) REVISE Zulfah Aprilianti Trimiarsih (2010, January 17) states that Scanning means knowing what information you need to find before you read. You have something in your mind, your eyes, then, move quickly to find that particular information. You scan when you are looking for a fact or a detail or a particular vocabulary word. When you are scanning, you don’t have to read every word to answer the questions and don’t have understand every word. Skimming means reading quickly for general meaning. You skim reading material to find out about topic, the main idea, and generic structure of passage. For this kind of reading, you only want to find out something and don’t want to know and memorize everything you read. In fact, you should leave out everything except a few important words. There are the words that tell you the general idea. From the definition it can be assumed that Skimming means reading general information t find the main idea, topic and general organization of a passage. Scanning means reading specific information to find the detail word. For example of skimming and scanning is when we read the reading section of TOEFL, because it is a timed reading situation. Reading quickly for meaning is extremely important in order to finish the test and to answer question correctly. Adopted from : Zulfah Aprilianti Trimiarsih (2010, January 17), skimming and scanning.

2. SKIMMING AND SCANNING Based on Chris Cotter (2000), Skimming and scanning are very important reading techniques. In short, skimming refers to looking through material quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself. When you skim, you read through an article three to four times faster than when you read each word. Scanning refers to reading through material to find specific information. When you scan, you run your eyes over text or information to pull out specific words, phrases, or data.
According to the definition above, it can be assumed that, skimming is reading quickly to find the informations, ideas, general sense and about the topic. For example, You pick up the newspaper in the doctor's office, thumb through the first few pages, and gather the gist of the events happening in the world.
On the other hands, scanning is reading that focus in every word that you read to get specific information in every word, data and phrases that you read. For example, You open the classified section of a newspaper, find the automobile section, and then mark a few cars within your price range.

DeleteAccording to Harder- Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text.When you read the newspaper you're probably not reading it word by word instead you're scanning the text. and skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading,people often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
For example:
1.The newspaper (Quickly to get the general news of the day).
So,In my opinion Skimming is a reading technique to be used when you want to find just "Main idea"in the text.
Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary.you search for key words or ideas.In most cases, you know what you're looking for,so you're concentrating on finding a particular information.When scanning,look for the authors use of organizers such as numbers,letters,steps,the words. look for words that are bold faced,italics,or in a different front size,style,color.Sometimes the author will put key words or ideas in the margin.
For examples :
1. A Train or Airplane schedule
2. A Conference Guide
So In my opinion Scanning is A reading technique to be used when you want to find key words in the text.

skimming and scanning
Skimming
is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
There are many strategies that can be used when skimming. Some people read the first and last paragraphs using headings, summarizes and other organizers as they move down the page or screen. You might read the title, subtitles, subheading, and illustrations. Consider reading the first sentence of each paragraph. This technique is useful when you're seeking specific information rather than reading for comprehension. Skimming works well to find dates, names, and places. It might be used to review graphs, tables, and charts.
Scanning
is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim
My opinion
Skimming
is a technique to identify the main ideas from the text. If you read a text, you don't need to read word by word and also sentence by sentence,because it will be lost your time.
Scanning
is a technique to looking for the key word or ideas. Because you just concentrate the key word or idea. And it also help the reader to determine wether it will answer your question.

Skimming
ReplyDeleteSkimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming.
Examples of Skimming:
• The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day)
• Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail)
• Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
Scanning
Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning.
Examples of Scanning
• The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper.
• A train / airplane schedule

DeleteSKIMMING is reading rapidly in order to get a general overview of the material.
In my opinion :
It means that while you are reading you just focus to find out about a topic, the main ideas, and the general organization of passage.
For example.
While the reader read an article he or she just look over in the headline the first sentence and sometimes in the last sentence of each paragraph of an article.
SCANNING is reading rapidly in order to find specific facts.
In my opinion:
It means that while you are reading you just focus on finding the first word or finding the key of word..
For example
When you want to look for the name of the author'
the Author's Name is Thomas so your eyes move quickly to find the first word information.

A. Skimming is the way how to find out the main idea of the text quickly. Example, The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day), Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail), Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed).
B. Scanning is useful in locating statements, definitions, formulas, etc. You must remember completely and precisely. The example, scan to find the exact and complete statement of a chemical law, the formula of a particular compound in chemistry, or the stages of cell division. Also, scan the charts and figures, they usually summarize in graphic form the major ideas and facts of the chapter. When scanning, look for the author's use of organizers such as numbers, letters, steps, or the words, first, second, or next. Look for words that are bold faced, italics, or in a different font size, style, or color. Sometimes the author will put key ideas in the margin.

1. Skimming is reading just those parts of a text that are most likely to indicate what the authors are talking about at different points in order to gain an overview of the content. It is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text,high- speed that can save you time and help you get through lots of material quickly, and your eyes should move very quickly over the pages.
Examples of skimming: aticles. Newspaper, news stories, etc.
2. Scanning is very high-speed reading that you do when you are looking for specific piece of information. You don’t read every word, only key words so that you can read faster.
Examples of scannning:
look at the list at the National Zoo in Washington. D.C
will you able to see an exhebit that features the Amazon rain forest in March?
Key words: Amazon, rain, forest, March.
So, the differences between skimming, scanning ,extensive reading and also intensive reading are:
• Skimming - running the eyes over quickly, to get the gist
• Scanning - looking for a particular piece of information
• Extensive reading - longer texts for pleasure and needing global understanding
• Intensive reading - shorter texts, extracting specific information, accurate reading for detail.

Subheadings or bullet points attract their attention, as do the introductory phrases of paragraphs and the concluding ones. In longer texts, skimmers check the contents lists, the opening and closing paragraphs of chapters, and any introductions, conclusions or summaries.
In my opinion, Skimming is one of reading technique that we use when we want to know about the general meaning of a passage, Such as the topic, the main ideas, and the general organization of a passage. Skimming also helps us to get an overall impression of the content of the text. There are some ways to skim. Two of it are First read the title. It can help us to get the first impression of the content of the text. Second read the introduction of the first paragraph to get the abstract from the text. This skimming are very useful because it can save readers time and allow them to study more efficiently.
For example :
• see whether a magazine article will be worth reading
• read through a new recipe
• SCANNING
Scanning refers to the act of briefly reading through the passage. You do not go into detail to interpret every single detail. The purpose of scanning is to just simply know what the passage is talking about, who are the characters, and some other information that is more of general. Scanners will make use of a book's index and contents page. When running their eye over the text, they will look out for keywords relevant to their search.
In my opinion, Scanning is a technique that we use when we are looking for specific information quickly. In other word scanning is rapid reading to get the specific information without read another part we just focus on the subject. We search by using key words. There are techniques when we are scanning. First decide what we are going to search. This is important because it can make us be more focus on the topic. Second try to find the clues. For example when we are looking for a certain date, we just focus on the number. Three, Use headings and any other aids that will help us identify which sections might contain the information we are looking for. And the last, selectively read and skip through section of the passage
For example, a reader might scan a biography of Abraham Lincoln, looking out only for significant dates. The reader would skip over descriptions of Lincoln's upbringing, his struggles and his achievements, stopping only to note the years. Another example a reader looks up the meaning of a word “play” in a dictionary. He or she just focus on the key word the letter “P”.

=> The expert's definition (From College Reading and Study Skills and Academic Reading and Study Skills for International Students)
Skimming refers to the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of the content of a reading selection.
How to Skim:
* Read the title.
* Read the introduction or the first paragraph.
* Read the first sentence of every other paragraph.
* Read any headings and sub-headings.
* Notice any pictures, charts, or graphs.
* Notice any italicized or boldface words or phrases.
* Read the summary or last paragraph.
Scanning is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.
How to Scan:
* State the specific information you are looking for.
* Try to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you might use to help you locate the answer. For example, if you were looking for a certain date, you would quickly read the paragraph looking only for numbers.
* Use headings and any other aids that will help you identify which sections might contain the information you are looking for.
* Selectively read and skip through sections of the passage.

skimming is the reading technique which we use when we are reading something quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself.
-for example when we are in the book store and want to buy a book. we will not read the book from the front to the back. we will just look at the tittle, the author and the information on the back cover of the book. by doing them, we will will know what the book is about.
while scanning is the reading technique which is used when we are reading something quickly to answer the question in our mind. We do it just for looking for the information we need, in the other words, we will pass the sentence which is not important for us.
-for example when we are looking at the list of the exam result announcement. we will just look for the name which we want to know. we usually use our pointer to find it, of course by passing the other names. then, when we find it, we will read more information about the name, like the score that he / she gets or others.

Skimming and scanning are reading strategies that can assist a reader in getting specific information from the text. Students should be taught appropriate times to skim or scan, such as looking for a specific answer, and inappropriate times to use scanning or skimming, such as when reading to comprehend. Skimming is a reading technique that is used to get a quick “gist” of a section or chapter. Scanning is a reading technique that is reading quickly to locate specific information. You can first introduce skimming and scanning by brainstorming a list of textual clues that will help students, such as bold-face type, capital letters, dates, key words, etc. Practice skimming and scanning can be practiced with short passages to gain mastery.
so, in my opinion skimming is reading strategy to look quickly over a section of text to get a general idea of the meaning. for example : if you were in a shop deciding whether to buy a newspaper, you might very quickly skim the stories to see if they seemed like something you would like to read in more detail.
and scanning is reading strategy to look quickly over the text looking for a specific word(s) or meaning. for example :looking for your name in a list of names, you would scan because you are not interested in getting a general idea of the other people's names.

Skimming refers to the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of the content of a reading selection.
How to Skim:
* Read the title.
* Read the introduction or the first paragraph.
* Read the first sentence of every other paragraph.
* Read any headings and sub-headings.
* Notice any pictures, charts, or graphs.
* Notice any italicized or boldface words or phrases.
* Read the summary or last paragraph.
Scanning is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.
How to Scan:
* State the specific information you are looking for.
* Try to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you might use to help you locate the answer. For example, if you were looking for a certain date, you would quickly read the paragraph looking only for numbers.
* Use headings and any other aids that will help you identify which sections might contain the information you are looking for.
* Selectively read and skip through sections of the passage.

=> The definition:
Extensive Reading:
It is the view of Palmer (1964) that “extensive reading” is considered as being reading rapidly. The readers read books after books. Its attention is paid to the meaning of the text itself not the language. The purpose of extensive reading is for pleasure and information. Thus, extensive reading is also termed as “supplementary reading”.
Intensive Reading:
The work of Palmer (1921) notes that “intensive reading” means that the readers take a text, study it line by line, and refer at very moment to the dictionary about the grammar of the text itself.
=> The differences:
*The first difference is that Extensive Reading covers large area, while Intensive Reading covers narrower area.
*The second difference is about students’ activity in class. In Extensive Reading the students’ activity is more complex than in Intensive Reading. The students, in Extensive Reading class, usually are asked to write a summary after reading an article/ passage. While in Intensive Reading, instead of writing summary and having presentation, the students are asked to answer some questions related to the topic which is given by the teacher. Usually, all of the answers are available on the text, so that the students only rewrite it.
*The last, Extensive Reading will discourage the over- use of dictionary (Bell, 1998); on the contrary dictionary is a must in Intensive Reading.
=> My own opinion
Extensive reading is done when we are trying to cover vast amounts of materials, but just skip over the parts we do not know and try to get the general information. It is all about context and the big picture.The texts are often realistic, usually in order to be so productive, these readings have to be adapted somewhat or written by textbook writer.
for example when we are reading our favourite novel, we do not need to think over about the grammar, we just try to get the main information. of course, it is done for pleasure.
while Intensive is done when we are studying minute details and trying to get absolutely every drop of information out of a section of text. Intensive reading not a lot of fun for students–they will never learn to love reading if they always have to analyze every text so intensely.
for example when we are asking to learn a foreign language article for our test. there are so many strange words there. we have to look for what they mean. it will be boring.

while scanning is the reading technique which is used when we are reading something quickly to answer the question in our mind. We do it just for looking for the information we need, in the other words, we will pass the sentence which is not important for us.
-for example when we are looking at the list of the exam result announcement. we will just look for the name which we want to know. we usually use our pointer to find it, of course by passing the other names. then, when we find it, we will read more information about the name, like the score that he / she gets or others.

Skimming refers to the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of the content of a reading selection.
How to Skim:
* Read the title.
* Read the introduction or the first paragraph.
* Read the first sentence of every other paragraph.
* Read any headings and sub-headings.
* Notice any pictures, charts, or graphs.
* Notice any italicized or boldface words or phrases.
* Read the summary or last paragraph.
Scanning is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.
How to Scan:
* State the specific information you are looking for.
* Try to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you might use to help you locate the answer. For example, if you were looking for a certain date, you would quickly read the paragraph looking only for numbers.
* Use headings and any other aids that will help you identify which sections might contain the information you are looking for.
* Selectively read and skip through sections of the passage.

Skimming is reading rapidly in order to get a general overview of the material.
In my opinion : It means that while you are reading you just focus to find out about a topic, the main ideas, and the general organization of passage
Example. When you read an article and you try to find main ideas you just focus in the firt paragraph or in the last paragraph the author put on the main ideas or a topic.
Scanning is reading rapidly in order to find specific facts.
In my opinion It means that while you are reading you just focus on finding the first word or specific word.
For example
When you want to look for the name of the author'
the Author's Name is Thomas so your eyes move quickly to find the first word information.

In the first paragraph the author might just be "warming up" or saying something clever to "hook" the reader and motivate your interest.

SKIMMING
Definition : Skimming is high-speed reading that can save your time and help you get through lots of material quickly. It is different from other kinds of high-speed reading, such as previewing and scanning. You skim to get the general sense of a passage or book, not specific details. When you skim, you have a general question about the whole text, such as “will this passage be useful to me?” or “what is this writer’s opinion?” or “what is the writer’s purpose or general idea?”. It is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. It is another technique whose purpose is to gain a quick overview in order to identify the main points. So, When you skimming, you will often skip words, sentences, and paragraphs and sometimes not essential to understand each word when skimming
Examples :
• The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day)
• Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail)
• Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
SCANNING
Definition ; Scanning is very high-speed reading that you do when you are looking for a specific piece of information. When you scan, you have a question in mind. You do not read every word, only key words that will answer your question. It will help you learn to skip over unimportant words so that you can read faster which is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need.. It involves a process of quickly searching reading materials in order to locate specific bits of information. When scanning you don't start from the beginning and read to the end. And If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning
Examples ;
• The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper.
• A train / airplane schedule
• A conference guide
Opinion : Skimming and scanning are very important reading techniques. In short, skimming refers to looking through material quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself. When you skim, you read through an article three to four times faster than when you read each word. Scanning refers to reading through material to find specific information. When you scan, you run your eyes over text or information to pull out specific words, phrases, or data.

Definition of Skimming and Scanning
According to Mackay (1968) Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word; instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research this means to look quickly over a section of text to get a general idea of the meaning.
For example, if you were in a shop deciding whether to buy a newspaper, you might very quickly skim the stories to see if they seemed like something you would like to read in more detail.
Scanning-looking through a text to find keywords and phrases that are likely to indicate the specific information that you are seeking, then reading just this piece of the text This means to look quickly over the text looking for a specific word(s) or meaning.
For example, looking for your name in a list of names, you would scan because you are not interested in getting a general idea of the other people's names.
Retrieved from: http://www.englishpracticeonline.com/resources/reading/skimming_and_scanning.html
In my view that, Scanning is a high-speed skill and only read key words. You scan when you are looking for a fact or a detail of word that will answer your question.
Skimming is reading quickly for general meaning not specific details
For example skimming and scanning
People are still reading book, and lots of them. The number of new books published keeps growing-90,000 new tittles in the United States during the last year by the latest industry count. The number is double the total output two decides ago. Reading is still an important part of our lives.
A. What is this passage about?
A. The amount of reading people do
B. Book reviews
C. Leisure time actives
D. A popular new book
B. How many new books were published in the United States?
A. 60.000
B. 900
C. 9.000
D. 90.000
Explanation:
The correct answer to question 1 is (A) the amount of reading people do. By reading the first sentence of the passage you find the phrases reading books and lots of them. As you quickly read the rest of the paragraph you find this words and ideas repeated in different ways. you could answer the question by quickly skimming the passage for the general idea.
The correct answer to question 2 is (D) 90.000. The question asks how many, and this tell you to look for a number. By scanning the passage for a number, you are able to find the correct answer of 90.000.

skimming means reading quickly for general meaning.
scanning means knowing what information you need to find before you read.
* in my opinion
skimming means reading general information t find the main idea, topic and general organization of a passage.
scanning means reading specific information to find the detail word.
the example of skimming and scanning is when we read the reading section of TOEFL, because it is a timed reading situation. reading quickly for meaning is extremely important in order to finish the test and to answer question correctly.

Deleteskimming is a type of rapid reading which is used when the reader wants to get the main idea or ideas from a pessage.
Scanning is a type of speed reading technique which is used when the reader wants to locate a particular piece of information without necessarily understanding the rest of a text or passage.
in my opinion, scanning is used to find a specific information. For example: We read a copy of someone's Identity card (in Bahasa means KTP) then we find out the information about his or her blood.
and skimming is a technique of reading where it is used to find the main idea from a text, for example: the reader find out the writer's argument about something (agree or disagree).

Scanning
DeleteExpert :
Scanning
Scanning a text, a reader quickly searches for some particular piece or pieces of information in a text. (Brown, 2001)
Scanning is more a limited activity, only retrieving information relevant to a purpose.
• Scanning ia a quick reading, focusing on locating specific information.
• Scanning involves quick eye movements, not necessarily linear in fashion, in which the eyes wander until the reader finds the piece of information needed.
• Scanning is used when a specific piece of information is required, such as a name, date, symbol, formula, or phrase, is required. The reader knows what the item looks like and so, knows when he has located what he was searching for. It is assumed then, that very little information is processed into long-term memory or even for immediate understanding because the objective is simply matching.
Activities
• Activities may include exercises that are devised by the teacher in which students scan for a single word or specific text .
• Activities may include exercises that are often carried on as a competition so students will work quickly.
• Students use skills of prediction and anticipation. Students may do any of the following:
- make predictions and guesses
- use titles and tables of contents to get an idea of what a passage is about
My interpretation :
Scanning speed reading
Scanning is the first thing that you do when you select a resource. It answers the question: -
Is this the right resource to help me find the answers to my questions? you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions.
For example, scanning a telephone book:
• You are looking for it quickly.
• You know what you are searching for (key words and names).
• You 'see' every item on the page, but you don't necessarily read the pages - you ignore anything you are not looking for. Thus, when you discover the key words being searched for, you will be unable to recall the exact content of the page.
Skimming
DeleteIn skimming a text, a reader quickly runs his eyes over the text to get the gist. (Brown, 2001)
Skimming involves a thorough overview of a text and implies a reading competence.
• Skimming is a quick reading to get:
- to know the general meaning of a passage - to know how the passage is organized, that is, the structure of the text - to get an idea of the intention of the writer
• Skimming is a more complex task than scanning because it requires the reader to organize and remember some of the information given by the author, not just to locate it.
• Skimming is a tool in which the author's sequence can be observed, unlike scanning in which some predetermined information is sought after.
Activities
• Students must locate facts that are expressed in sentences, not single words.
• Although speed is essential and the teacher often sets a time limit to the activity, skimming should not be done competitively. Students should be encouraged individually to better themselves.
• To improve skimming, readers should read more and more rapidly, to form appropriate questions and predictions and then read quickly
• Pugh (1978) suggests that to assess skimming, after the students have read and completed the assigned questions, further questions may be asked, "beyond the scope of the purpose originally set". If students can answer these questions correctly, it indicates they have read the text too closely.
My interpretation :
Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read quickly to gain a general impression as to whether the text is of use to you. You are not necessarily searching for a specific item and key words. Skimming provides an 'overview' of the text.
For example, Skimming novel harry potter
Skimming is useful to look at chapter/section headings, summaries and opening paragraphs.
- you can first skim over the chapter and section titles to give you an idea of when the material is about.
- You are looking for opening paragraphs.
Brown (1994) suggest ed that "perhaps the two most valuable reading strategies for learners as well as native speakers are skimming and scanning." (p.283)
Pugh (1978) suggested that since scanning is a less complex style of reading it can be introduced first. Skimming requires greater fluency and more practice is required, so it should be introduced later.
Often skimming and scanning are used together when reading a text. For example, the reader may skim through first to see if it is worth reading, then read it more carefully and scan for a specific piece of information to note.
Students need to learn that they need to adapt their reading and techniques to the purpose of the reading.
By practicing skimming and scanning, the individual learns to read and select specific information without focussing on information that is not important for meaning.

Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming.
Examples of Skimming:
• The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day)
• Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail)
• Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
In my opinion, skimming is read quickly to get the important information from newspaper, book or etc that we read.
• Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim it.
• Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning.
Examples of Scanning:
• The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper.
• A train / airplane schedule
• A conference guide
In my opinion, scanning is to find the specific details that we are require when we are looking for something in our reading, like to looking up difficult words in a dictionary or the other.

Skimming is the process of reading to find out the main ideas of the text (Readsmart, 2011)
Skimming is the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of the content of a reading selection.
Example:
- see whether a magazine article will be worth reading
- see whether an academic article is going to be relevant for your task
- read through a new recipe
- read a front-line text which is relevant but not central to your task
Scanning is looking at a text quickly to find specific information. (Readsmart, 2011)
Scanning is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.
Example:
- look up the meaning of a word in a dictionary
- find a phone number
- look for a particular reference in a reference list of an article
- check particular details of an incident reported in a newspaper article
- check what research methods the authors of a research report article used

Extensive and Intensive Reading
• Extensive reading is reading as much as possible, for your own pleasure, at a difficulty level at which you can read smoothly and quickly without looking up words or translating to English as you go. In other words, instead of spending a half hour decoding a tiny part of one book (also known as intensive reading), you read many simpler books that are at or slightly below the level at which you read fluently. This lets you get used to reading more complex sentences with ease, reinforces the words you already know and helps you learn new words from context.
• Extensive is when we try to cover vast amounts of materials, but just skip over the parts we don’t know and try to get the general gist of things. It’s all about context and the big picture. Once we get awesome, we can just sit down and read a book and understand everything, and we’re still doing an extensive exercise.
Example: Read a novel
In my opinion, Extensive reading is reading a lot for pleasure at a fairly easy level with emphasis on general understanding without the use of a dictionary.
Intensive reading is reading carefully for an exact understanding of text. In practical life, acquired intensive reading skills are used for comprehension of contracts, business letters, memorandums, application forms and legal documents.
Intensive reading is about studying minute details and trying to wring absolutely every drop of information out of a section of text.
Example
The learners read a short text and put events from it into chronological order.
In my opinion intensive reading is involves the readers reading in detail with specific learning aims and tasks.

Skimming and Scanning
Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming.
Examples of Skimming:
• The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day)
• Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail)
• Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
In my opinion, skimming is read quickly to get the important information from newspaper, book or etc that we read.
• Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim it.
• Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning.
Examples of Scanning:
• The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper.
• A train / airplane schedule
• A conference guide
In my opinion, scanning is to find the specific details that we are require when we are looking for something in our reading, like to looking up difficult words in a dictionary or the other.

Scanning
Scanning a text, a reader quickly searches for some particular piece or pieces of information in a text. (Brown, 2001)
Scanning is more a limited activity, only retrieving information relevant to a purpose.
• Scanning ia a quick reading, focusing on locating specific information.
• Scanning involves quick eye movements, not necessarily linear in fashion, in which the eyes wander until the reader finds the piece of information needed.
• Scanning is used when a specific piece of information is required, such as a name, date, symbol, formula, or phrase, is required. The reader knows what the item looks like and so, knows when he has located what he was searching for. It is assumed then, that very little information is processed into long-term memory or even for immediate understanding because the objective is simply matching.
Activities
• Activities may include exercises that are devised by the teacher in which students scan for a single word or specific text .
• Activities may include exercises that are often carried on as a competition so students will work quickly.
• Students use skills of prediction and anticipation. Students may do any of the following:
- make predictions and guesses
- use titles and tables of contents to get an idea of what a passage is about
My interpretation :
Scanning speed reading
Scanning is the first thing that you do when you select a resource. It answers the question: -
Is this the right resource to help me find the answers to my questions? you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions.
For example, scanning a telephone book:
• You are looking for it quickly.
• You know what you are searching for (key words and names).
• You 'see' every item on the page, but you don't necessarily read the pages - you ignore anything you are not looking for. Thus, when you discover the key words being searched for, you will be unable to recall the exact content of the page.
Skimming
ReplyDeleteIn skimming a text, a reader quickly runs his eyes over the text to get the gist. (Brown, 2001)
Skimming involves a thorough overview of a text and implies a reading competence.
• Skimming is a quick reading to get:
- to know the general meaning of a passage - to know how the passage is organized, that is, the structure of the text - to get an idea of the intention of the writer
• Skimming is a more complex task than scanning because it requires the reader to organize and remember some of the information given by the author, not just to locate it.
• Skimming is a tool in which the author's sequence can be observed, unlike scanning in which some predetermined information is sought after.
Activities
• Students must locate facts that are expressed in sentences, not single words.
• Although speed is essential and the teacher often sets a time limit to the activity, skimming should not be done competitively. Students should be encouraged individually to better themselves.
• To improve skimming, readers should read more and more rapidly, to form appropriate questions and predictions and then read quickly
• Pugh (1978) suggests that to assess skimming, after the students have read and completed the assigned questions, further questions may be asked, "beyond the scope of the purpose originally set". If students can answer these questions correctly, it indicates they have read the text too closely.
My interpretation :
Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read quickly to gain a general impression as to whether the text is of use to you. You are not necessarily searching for a specific item and key words. Skimming provides an 'overview' of the text.
For example, Skimming novel harry potter
Skimming is useful to look at chapter/section headings, summaries and opening paragraphs.
- you can first skim over the chapter and section titles to give you an idea of when the material is about.
- You are looking for opening paragraphs.
Brown (1994) suggest ed that "perhaps the two most valuable reading strategies for learners as well as native speakers are skimming and scanning." (p.283)
Pugh (1978) suggested that since scanning is a less complex style of reading it can be introduced first. Skimming requires greater fluency and more practice is required, so it should be introduced later.
Often skimming and scanning are used together when reading a text. For example, the reader may skim through first to see if it is worth reading, then read it more carefully and scan for a specific piece of information to note.
Students need to learn that they need to adapt their reading and techniques to the purpose of the reading.
By practicing skimming and scanning, the individual learns to read and select specific information without focussing on information that is not important for meaning.

- the expert's definition
Scanning: The kind of technique we use when looking up a word in a dictionary or in the Yellow Pages. You know what you are looking for so you are searching for that keyword or idea (you expect to find); i.e. you’re focused on finding a particular answer. When I scan a text, I look for words that are bold faced, italics, or in a different font size, style, or color.
Skimming: The kind of technique we use when reading a newspaper or magazine. We don’t know we are looking for yet but we want to know what the text is about, to see if it is of interest. What do I do to skim a text? It’s a personal decision, but what I usually do is to read the heading or subheading and check the illustrations and images, if any. Then I read the first and last lines of each paragraph.
- my opinion
scanning is high speed reading to look for information that we need by using key words.
e.g when look for word on the telephone book or dictionary.
skimming is done at a speed three to four time faster than normal reading that useful when you want to survey a text to get a general of what it is about. in skimming you ignore the details and look for the main ideas.
e.g when u read newspaper, you are not probably not reading it word by word, instead you are scanning the text.

SKIMMING
Definition : Skimming is high-speed reading that can save your time and help you get through lots of material quickly. It is different from other kinds of high-speed reading, such as previewing and scanning. You skim to get the general sense of a passage or book, not specific details. When you skim, you have a general question about the whole text, such as “will this passage be useful to me?” or “what is this writer’s opinion?” or “what is the writer’s purpose or general idea?”. It is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. It is another technique whose purpose is to gain a quick overview in order to identify the main points. So, When you skimming, you will often skip words, sentences, and paragraphs and sometimes not essential to understand each word when skimming
Examples :
• The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day)
• Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail)
• Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
SCANNING
Definition ; Scanning is very high-speed reading that you do when you are looking for a specific piece of information. When you scan, you have a question in mind. You do not read every word, only key words that will answer your question. It will help you learn to skip over unimportant words so that you can read faster which is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need.. It involves a process of quickly searching reading materials in order to locate specific bits of information. When scanning you don't start from the beginning and read to the end. And If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning
Examples ;
• The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper.
• A train / airplane schedule
• A conference guide
Opinion : Skimming and scanning are very important reading techniques. In short, skimming refers to looking through material quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself. When you skim, you read through an article three to four times faster than when you read each word. Scanning refers to reading through material to find specific information. When you scan, you run your eyes over text or information to pull out specific words, phrases, or data.

# Scanning
The expert states that Scanning looking through a text to find keywords and phrases that are likely to indicate the specific information that you are seeking, then reading just this piece of the text. For examples:
• look up the meaning of a word in a dictionary
• look for a particular reference in a reference list of an article
• check particular details of an incident reported in a newspaper article
• check what research methods the authors of a research report article used
In my opinion, Scanning is fairly simple skill that involves only a visual search for information on a page and finn the review of a particular text to find a specific piece of information.
# Skimming
The expert states that s a good "pre-reading" technique, but is not "dynamic speed reading" in itself. Again it can be a single tool in the speed reader's toolkit, but is incomplete as a way to describe speed reading. For example:
• see whether a magazine article will be worth reading
• see whether an academic article is going to be relevant for your task
• read through a new recipe
• read a front-line text which is relevant but not central to your task
In my opinion, skimming is reading selectively because we only read certain part of the text and involves processing text for ideas which requires far more complex thinking skill.

• Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail)
• Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
In my opinion, skimming is read quickly to get the important information from newspaper, book or etc that we read.

Examples of Scanning:
• The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper.
• A train / airplane schedule
• A conference guide
In my opinion, scanning is to find the specific details that we are require when we are looking for something in our reading, like to looking up difficult words in a dictionary or the other.

In my opinion, scanning is to find the specific details that we are require when we are looking for something in our reading, like to looking up difficult words in a dictionary or the other.

SKIMMING AND SCANNING READING STRATEGY
1. Definition of skimming
Skimming is high-speed reading that can save your time and help you get through lots of material quickly. You skim to get general sense of a passage or book, not specific details. Skimming is useful when you want to survey a text to get a general idea of what it is about. In skimming you ignore the details and look for the main ideas. Main ideas are usually found in the first sentences of each paragraph and in the first and last paragraphs. It is also useful to pay attention to the organisation of the text. Skimming a text for gist can help you formulate questions to keep you interacting with the text. For example :
Nicky Hart argues that the increasing divorce rate can be seen as a 'product of conflict between the changing economic system and its social and ideological superstructure (notably the family)'. In advanced capitalist industrial societies, there is an increasing demand for cheap female wage labour. Wives are encouraged to take up paid employment not only because of the demand for their services, but also because the capitalist controlled media has raised 'material aspirations' - the demand for goods that families desire. These material aspirations can only be satisfied by both spouses working as wage earners. However, conflict results from the contradiction between female wage labour and the normative expectations which surround married life. 'Working wives' are still expected to be primarily responsible for housework and raising children. In addition, they are still expected, to some degree, to play a subservient role to the male head of the household. These normative expectations contradict the wife's role a wage earner since she is now sharing the economic burden with her husband. Conflict between the spouses can result from this contradiction, and conflict can lead to marital breakdown.
Is this an 'explanation' text? Yes No
From the existing example, we can conclude that skimming is finding a general point of the text.
So, in my opinion skimming is the way/method to get the general sense of the text or book. We need to read whole quickly to know the text or book, but we just take the general information of it.
2. Definition of scanning
Scanning is very high-speed reading that you do when you are looking for a specific piece of information. In my opinion, When you scan, you have a question in mind. You do not read every word, only key words tht will answer your question. Practice in scanning will help you learn to skip over unimportant words so that you can read faster.
Example : Reading or finding a cheapest car in the car advertisement.

a. SCANNING
Scanning involves a process of quickly searching reading materials in order to locate specific bits of information. When scanning you don't start from the beginning
and read to the end. Instead, what you do is jump around in the text, trying to find
the information you need
Scanning involves running your eyes down the page looking for specific facts or Key words and phrases. First, they are an aid in locating new terms, which are introduced in the chapter. Secondly, scanning is useful in locating statements, definitions, formulas, etc
How to do it
1) Visualize thing to be spotted – get clear mental picture of the words
2) Use all available clues--capital letters, hyphens, italics, synonyms, key words
3) Use paragraph topical clues, such as words in boldface or italics
4) Use systematic scanning patterns
a) Run eyes rapidly down middle of column using a zig-zag motion
b) Use wider side-by-side movement for solid pages of prin
b. SKIMMING
Skimming is another technique whose purpose is to gain a quick overview
in order to identify the main points. When skimming, you will often skip words,
sentences, and paragraphs. When you are satisfied you have a general understanding
of the author's main ideas and key points, you put the reading material aside.
Skimming involves searching for the main ideas by reading the first and last paragraphs, noting other organizational cues, such as summaries, used by the author.
How to do it
1) Read first sentence of paragraph
2) Read last sentence of paragraph
3) Read key words in between
Two skimming patterns:
a) For formal style typical of most text books (with long involved sentences and long paragraphs: read using 3 steps outlined above)
b) For informal style (shorter sentences and paragraphs) read using first two steps only
In My Opinion:
Scanning: to help find one specific bit of information within a relatively large body of
Information
Skimming: concentrates your attention on the essentials of a paragraph or series of paragraphs

Expert :
Scanning
Scanning a text, a reader quickly searches for some particular piece or pieces of information in a text. (Brown, 2001)
Scanning is more a limited activity, only retrieving information relevant to a purpose.
• Scanning ia a quick reading, focusing on locating specific information.
• Scanning involves quick eye movements, not necessarily linear in fashion, in which the eyes wander until the reader finds the piece of information needed.
• Scanning is used when a specific piece of information is required, such as a name, date, symbol, formula, or phrase, is required. The reader knows what the item looks like and so, knows when he has located what he was searching for. It is assumed then, that very little information is processed into long-term memory or even for immediate understanding because the objective is simply matching.
Activities
• Activities may include exercises that are devised by the teacher in which students scan for a single word or specific text .
• Activities may include exercises that are often carried on as a competition so students will work quickly.
• Students use skills of prediction and anticipation. Students may do any of the following:
- make predictions and guesses
- use titles and tables of contents to get an idea of what a passage is about
My interpretation :
Scanning speed reading
Scanning is the first thing that you do when you select a resource. It answers the question: -
Is this the right resource to help me find the answers to my questions? you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions.
For example, scanning a telephone book:
• You are looking for it quickly.
• You know what you are searching for (key words and names).
• You 'see' every item on the page, but you don't necessarily read the pages - you ignore anything you are not looking for. Thus, when you discover the key words being searched for, you will be unable to recall the exact content of the page.
Skimming
In skimming a text, a reader quickly runs his eyes over the text to get the gist. (Brown, 2001)
Skimming involves a thorough overview of a text and implies a reading competence.

• Skimming is a quick reading to get:
ReplyDelete- to know the general meaning of a passage - to know how the passage is organized, that is, the structure of the text - to get an idea of the intention of the writer
• Skimming is a more complex task than scanning because it requires the reader to organize and remember some of the information given by the author, not just to locate it.
• Skimming is a tool in which the author's sequence can be observed, unlike scanning in which some predetermined information is sought after.
Activities
• Students must locate facts that are expressed in sentences, not single words.
• Although speed is essential and the teacher often sets a time limit to the activity, skimming should not be done competitively. Students should be encouraged individually to better themselves.
• To improve skimming, readers should read more and more rapidly, to form appropriate questions and predictions and then read quickly
• Pugh (1978) suggests that to assess skimming, after the students have read and completed the assigned questions, further questions may be asked, "beyond the scope of the purpose originally set". If students can answer these questions correctly, it indicates they have read the text too closely.
My interpretation :
Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read quickly to gain a general impression as to whether the text is of use to you. You are not necessarily searching for a specific item and key words. Skimming provides an 'overview' of the text.
For example, Skimming novel harry potter
Skimming is useful to look at chapter/section headings, summaries and opening paragraphs.
- you can first skim over the chapter and section titles to give you an idea of when the material is about.
- You are looking for opening paragraphs.
Brown (1994) suggest ed that "perhaps the two most valuable reading strategies for learners as well as native speakers are skimming and scanning." (p.283)
Pugh (1978) suggested that since scanning is a less complex style of reading it can be introduced first. Skimming requires greater fluency and more practice is required, so it should be introduced later.
Often skimming and scanning are used together when reading a text. For example, the reader may skim through first to see if it is worth reading, then read it more carefully and scan for a specific piece of information to note.
Students need to learn that they need to adapt their reading and techniques to the purpose of the reading.
By practicing skimming and scanning, the individual learns to read and select specific information without focussing on information that is not important for meaning.

• Pugh (1978) suggests that to assess skimming, after the students have read and completed the assigned questions, further questions may be asked, "beyond the scope of the purpose originally set". If students can answer these questions correctly, it indicates they have read the text too closely.
My interpretation :
Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read quickly to gain a general impression as to whether the text is of use to you. You are not necessarily searching for a specific item and key words. Skimming provides an 'overview' of the text.
For example, Skimming novel harry potter
Skimming is useful to look at chapter/section headings, summaries and opening paragraphs.
- you can first skim over the chapter and section titles to give you an idea of when the material is about.
- You are looking for opening paragraphs.
Brown (1994) suggest ed that "perhaps the two most valuable reading strategies for learners as well as native speakers are skimming and scanning." (p.283)
Pugh (1978) suggested that since scanning is a less complex style of reading it can be introduced first. Skimming requires greater fluency and more practice is required, so it should be introduced later.
Often skimming and scanning are used together when reading a text. For example, the reader may skim through first to see if it is worth reading, then read it more carefully and scan for a specific piece of information to note.
Students need to learn that they need to adapt their reading and techniques to the purpose of the reading.
By practicing skimming and scanning, the individual learns to read and select specific information without focussing on information that is not important for meaning.

Scanning
Scanning a text, a reader quickly searches for some particular piece or pieces of information in a text. (Brown, 2001)
Scanning is more a limited activity, only retrieving information relevant to a purpose.
• Scanning ia a quick reading, focusing on locating specific information.
• Scanning involves quick eye movements, not necessarily linear in fashion, in which the eyes wander until the reader finds the piece of information needed.
• Scanning is used when a specific piece of information is required, such as a name, date, symbol, formula, or phrase, is required. The reader knows what the item looks like and so, knows when he has located what he was searching for. It is assumed then, that very little information is processed into long-term memory or even for immediate understanding because the objective is simply matching.
Activities
• Activities may include exercises that are devised by the teacher in which students scan for a single word or specific text .
• Activities may include exercises that are often carried on as a competition so students will work quickly.
• Students use skills of prediction and anticipation. Students may do any of the following:
- make predictions and guesses
- use titles and tables of contents to get an idea of what a passage is about
My interpretation :
Scanning speed reading
Scanning is the first thing that you do when you select a resource. It answers the question: -
Is this the right resource to help me find the answers to my questions? you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions.
For example, scanning a telephone book:
• You are looking for it quickly.
• You know what you are searching for (key words and names).
• You 'see' every item on the page, but you don't necessarily read the pages - you ignore anything you are not looking for. Thus, when you discover the key words being searched for, you will be unable to recall the exact content of the page.
Skimming
In skimming a text, a reader quickly runs his eyes over the text to get the gist. (Brown, 2001)
Skimming involves a thorough overview of a text and implies a reading competence.

SKIMMING
Definition : Skimming is high-speed reading that can save your time and help you get through lots of material quickly. It is different from other kinds of high-speed reading, such as previewing and scanning. You skim to get the general sense of a passage or book, not specific details. When you skim, you have a general question about the whole text, such as “will this passage be useful to me?” or “what is this writer’s opinion?” or “what is the writer’s purpose or general idea?”. It is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. It is another technique whose purpose is to gain a quick overview in order to identify the main points. So, When you skimming, you will often skip words, sentences, and paragraphs and sometimes not essential to understand each word when skimming
Examples :
• The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day)
• Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail)
• Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
SCANNING
Definition ; Scanning is very high-speed reading that you do when you are looking for a specific piece of information. When you scan, you have a question in mind. You do not read every word, only key words that will answer your question. It will help you learn to skip over unimportant words so that you can read faster which is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need.. It involves a process of quickly searching reading materials in order to locate specific bits of information. When scanning you don't start from the beginning and read to the end. And If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning
Examples ;
• The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper.
• A train / airplane schedule
• A conference guide
Opinion : Skimming and scanning are very important reading techniques. In short, skimming refers to looking through material quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself. When you skim, you read through an article three to four times faster than when you read each word. Scanning refers to reading through material to find specific information. When you scan, you run your eyes over text or information to pull out specific words, phrases, or data.

a. SCANNING
Scanning involves a process of quickly searching reading materials in order to locate specific bits of information. When scanning you don't start from the beginning
and read to the end. Instead, what you do is jump around in the text, trying to find
the information you need
Scanning involves running your eyes down the page looking for specific facts or Key words and phrases. First, they are an aid in locating new terms, which are introduced in the chapter. Secondly, scanning is useful in locating statements, definitions, formulas, etc
How to do it
1) Visualize thing to be spotted – get clear mental picture of the words
2) Use all available clues--capital letters, hyphens, italics, synonyms, key words
3) Use paragraph topical clues, such as words in boldface or italics
4) Use systematic scanning patterns
a) Run eyes rapidly down middle of column using a zig-zag motion
b) Use wider side-by-side movement for solid pages of prin
b. SKIMMING
Skimming is another technique whose purpose is to gain a quick overview
in order to identify the main points. When skimming, you will often skip words,
sentences, and paragraphs. When you are satisfied you have a general understanding
of the author's main ideas and key points, you put the reading material aside.
Skimming involves searching for the main ideas by reading the first and last paragraphs, noting other organizational cues, such as summaries, used by the author.
How to do it
1) Read first sentence of paragraph
2) Read last sentence of paragraph
3) Read key words in between
Two skimming patterns:
a) For formal style typical of most text books (with long involved sentences and long paragraphs: read using 3 steps outlined above)
b) For informal style (shorter sentences and paragraphs) read using first two steps only
In My Opinion:
Scanning: to help find one specific bit of information within a relatively large body of
Information
Skimming: concentrates your attention on the essentials of a paragraph or series of paragraphs

SKIMMING AND SCANNING
Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
There are many strategies that can be used when skimming. Some people read the first and last paragraphs using headings, summarizes and other organizers as they move down the page or screen. You might read the title, subtitles, subheading, and illustrations. Consider reading the first sentence of each paragraph. This technique is useful when you're seeking specific information rather than reading for comprehension. Skimming works well to find dates, names, and places. It might be used to review graphs, tables, and charts.
Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim it.
When scanning, look for the author's use of organizers such as numbers, letters, steps, or the words, first, second, or next. Look for words that are bold faced, italics, or in a different font size, style, or color. Sometimes the author will put key ideas in the margin.
Reading off a computer screen has become a growing concern. Research shows that people have more difficulty reading off a computer screen than off paper. Although they can read and comprehend at the same rate as paper, skimming on the computer is much slower than on paper.
SKIMMING
Recall how you find a name in a telephone book? You don't read any more than necessary to find the name you seek. Notice that you go directly down a column of news. Maybe you use your finger to guide your eyes. This type of reading is usually called scanning. Skimming uses the same type of skill mechanically but a different skill mentally. In scanning, you know what you are looking for. In skimming you don't.
Since you don't know exactly what you are looking for while skimming, prepare yourself by reading the title, source, author, and picture: then you question yourself, -- who, what, when, where is this likely to be mainly about? With a questioning mind you direct your eyes down the column of print, or in a zig-zag, if the lines are quite long. Look for exact names of people, places, things, ideas, numbers, and words like therefore, whenever, until, because, and instead, to clue you to how and why.
When you first start to learn to skim you may see only the words in bold type, italics, digits, or capitalized words. Soon you will note new or unusual vocabulary. As you become an efficient skimmer your span of perception will develop and your ability to make closure will increase.
Skimming is a step you should always take before you read any article of factual or practical narrative. You will soon be able to detect most important facts, strange vocabulary, and words that are clues to important relationships.
It's a good practice to skim everything in mass media after reading the title and first paragraph. You may get all the information you want. This keeps your skimming skills from deteriorating, or will give you the practice you need to develop necessary skills.
Skim everything you intend to read before you make a final decision to read, discard, or study the material.

Skimming and Scanning
Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming.
Examples of Skimming:
• The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day)
• Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail)
• Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
In my opinion, skimming is read quickly to get the important information from newspaper, book or etc that we read.
• Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim it.
• Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning.
Examples of Scanning:
• The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper.
• A train / airplane schedule
• A conference guide
In my opinion, scanning is to find the specific details that we are require when we are looking for something in our reading, like to looking up difficult words in a dictionary or the other.

# Scanning
The expert states that Scanning looking through a text to find keywords and phrases that are likely to indicate the specific information that you are seeking, then reading just this piece of the text. For examples:
• look up the meaning of a word in a dictionary
• look for a particular reference in a reference list of an article
• check particular details of an incident reported in a newspaper article
• check what research methods the authors of a research report article used
In my opinion, Scanning is fairly simple skill that involves only a visual search for information on a page and finn the review of a particular text to find a specific piece of information.
# Skimming
The expert states that s a good "pre-reading" technique, but is not "dynamic speed reading" in itself. Again it can be a single tool in the speed reader's toolkit, but is incomplete as a way to describe speed reading. For example:
• see whether a magazine article will be worth reading
• see whether an academic article is going to be relevant for your task
• read through a new recipe
• read a front-line text which is relevant but not central to your task
In my opinion, skimming is reading selectively because we only read certain part of the text and involves processing text for ideas which requires far more complex thinking skill.

1. Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
Example of Skimming:
#1: Students read the headline and the first sentence of each paragraph of an article. They then pair up to discuss the guessed-at topic of the article.
Idea #2: Students read the first paragraph and the last paragraph of the article. They then work in pairs to discuss the guessed-at contents of the piece.
Idea #3: Students have two minutes to read the article. Of course, they won't be able to complete the piece, especially if they try to read each word. After two minutes, students get into pairs to discuss the contents of the piece. Additional points may also be discussed, such as overall tone (humorous, serious, persuasive), whether the writer supports or opposes the main idea.
2.Scanning is used when a specific piece of information is required, such as a name, date, symbol, formula, or phrase, is required. The reader knows what the item looks like and so, knows when he has located what he was searching for. It is assumed then, that very little information is processed into long-term memory or even for immediate understanding because the objective is simply matching.
Example of Scanning:
Idea #1: Several content-specific questions are written on the board before students receive the article. Students read through the text and answer the questions.
Idea #2: Key vocabulary words are written on the board before students receive the article. Students read through the text and circle the words, then read the sentence for each word for context.
Idea #3: You read aloud the beginning of a sentence. Students must go through the article, find the sentence, and read it aloud.

Skimming and Scanning Reading Strategies
Skimming: Skimming involves looking through a book or article and reading only the main parts.
The purpose of skimming is to reduce reading time: When skimming, you should read at approximately twice your average reading speed.
Scanning: Scanning is a very quick search for some important points for specific information. In this kind of reading, your eyes move quickly over the words for figures until you find the exact information you are looking for. As your eyes move down the page, keep in mind what you are looking for and ignore everything else.
My interpretations:
Skimming : To give a quick and superficial reading, scrutiny, or consideration; glance.
Examples of Skimming:
contents, headings, introductions, summaries and conclusions. With skimming, you are trying to get a general impression of the material.
Scanning : To look over quickly and systematically; to look over or leaf through hastily.
Examples of Scanning:
• finding a name in the telephone book
• looking up a word in a dictionary

Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
opinion:
skimming is reading by rapidly to find out about the main idea of the text.
example:
when we want to read a book, we read the back cover of the book about the biography.
Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim it.
opinion:
reading by scanning we do to take the information that just we want to find.

when we want to find out a word that we need in dictionary

• Scanning is a valuable skill for second language learners to develop because often they do not require a detailed read of a text. There are many everyday uses for scanning, relevant to a purpose, such as reading a schedule.
Scanning is used often with technical, scientific or professional materials to locate specific information
• Skimming is a quick reading to get:
- to know the general meaning of a passage - to know how the passage is organized, that is, the structure of the text - to get an idea of the intention of the writer
Skimming and scanning are two different reading skills. Skimming means looking at a text or chapter quickly in order to have a general idea of the contents. Scanning means looking at a text to find some particular information. For example, we skim through a report to have a rough idea of what it says but we scan a page of the telephone directory to find a particular name or number.

According to Rie Busten (2009:20) explanation of skimming refers to “reading quickly to gain a general impression as to whether the text is of use to you. You are not necessarily searching for a specific item because it only provides an “overview” of the text”.
In my opinion skimming is we read very quick the text to get main idea of the meaning within a passage
For example, if you were in a shop deciding whether to buy a newspaper, you might very quickly skim the stories to see if they seemed like something you would like to read in more detail.
2. Scanning
According to Rie Busten (2009:21) explanation of scanning “you scan to locate a single fact or a specific bit of information without reading everything in the whole text material, or even in just a chapter”
In my opinion scanning is reading quickly to get specific information we a question in our mind and we read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.

Skimming is reading quickly to find main idea of what we are reading.
Example:
You quickly go through a twenty page reports in a few minute, and determine the overall subjects, tone, and a few key points.

SCANNING
Definition ; Scanning is very high-speed reading that you do when you are looking for a specific piece of information. When you scan, you have a question in mind. You do not read every word, only key words that will answer your question. It will help you learn to skip over unimportant words so that you can read faster which is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need.. It involves a process of quickly searching reading materials in order to locate specific bits of information. When scanning you don't start from the beginning and read to the end. And If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning
my opinion : to help find one specific bit of information within a relatively large body of
Information
example : The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper
SKIMMING
definiton : skimming is used to quickly find the main ideas of a text, and that skimming is often done at a speed three to four times faster than normal critical reading speed. skimming is when you go through a piece of text to get a general idea of what it is about. eg. magazine reading. Skimming refers to reading through a passage with great precision. The reader will be looking for clues and evidence so as to help him interpret what exactly in detail was happening and etc. Skimming means reading quickly for general meaning. You skim reading material to find out about topic, the main idea, and generic structure of passage.
my opinion : skimming is reading by rapidly to find out about the main idea of the text
example : The Newspaper *quickly to get the general news of the day*

ReplyDelete1. Efficient reading
According to Grabe (2009: 14) explanation of efficient reading is “not only refers to a high
reading rate, but also to integrated application of different reading skills, to recognize words and syntax, to form a meaning, to get text comprehension, to infer, to evaluate critically, and to link to previous background knowledge”.
Based on the explanation above, I assume that efficient reading is not only reading faster, but they are also reading with better comprehension.
Example : for example, if one was to read a novel while slowly backing over a box full of kittens (not illegal by the way, if it were a box of puppies however that's a different story)
2. Effective reading
According to Grau (1997:32) Serrejon (1995:46-47) and Sole (1992) explanation of effective reading is “reading quickly, understand what he or she reads, adapts reading speed and comprehension to the type of text being read and one’s intent or purpose in reading, and remember well what has been read”
Based on the explanation above, I assume that effective reading is : to help us decide whether a book is useful for our purpose, and to help us locate relevant information
Example :
• Quickly survey each chapter that you intend to read, looking at paragraph headings and try to see how each relates to the main topic or idea or even sub-topic.
• Look out for and make a note of (using highlighters or asterisks) any key sentences – underline or highlight any key words or phrases.

Skimming and scanning are reading strategies that can assist a reader in getting specific information from the text. Students should be taught appropriate times to skim or scan, such as looking for a specific answer, and inappropriate times to use scanning or skimming, such as when reading to comprehend. Skimming is a reading technique that is used to get a quick “gist” of a section or chapter. Scanning is a reading technique that is reading quickly to locate specific information. You can first introduce skimming and scanning by brainstorming a list of textual clues that will help students, such as bold-face type, capital letters, dates, key words, etc. Practice skimming and scanning can be practiced with short passages to gain mastery.

Reading strategies: scanning, skimming and intensive reading
You will probably be aware that you are already skilled in using different reading strategies for different purposes in your daily life. You may feel less confident about doing this in your academic studies: maybe you read everything too thoroughly. Or perhaps you have become too confident and have discovered from the feedback from your tutor or supervisor that you do not read key texts thoroughly enough. It is important to match your reading strategy to the reading purpose.
You may find it useful to think in terms of three main reading strategies:
• scanning - looking through a text to find keywords and phrases that are likely to indicate the specific information that you are seeking, then reading just this piece of the text (situations 1 and 2 above)
• skimming - reading just those parts of a text that are most likely to indicate what the authors are talking about at different points in order to gain an overview of the content (situations 3 and 4)
• intensive reading - reading through every word of a text from beginning to end (situations 5 and 6)
For many reading purposes in academic work you may have noticed that you use more than one strategy in sequence. For a particular text that turns out to be centrally important for your reading purpose, the sequence might be:
• scan the title and abstract to see whether the text is likely to be at all relevant
• scan through parts of the content to see whether particular details in the text confirm that it will be relevant
• skim the text to gain an overview of its content and confirm how centrally relevant it is
• intensively read the whole text since it clearly is centrally relevant, so as to understand and evaluate its content in depth
A secret of efficient reading, that will soon become automatic if you consciously do it for every text, is to check how well the reading strategy you are going to use next fits your reading purpose.
• Check your reading purpose and then use scanning, skimming or intensive reading - either on their own or in sequence - as required to achieve this purpose.
There are many textbooks and websites that offer general guidance on reading strategies. Some include practical exercises to help you improve your skills. If search with your website browser using keywords such as ‘skim read’ or ‘scan skim’ will lead you to plenty of sites.

Skimming
is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
There are many strategies that can be used when skimming. Some people read the first and last paragraphs using headings, summarizes and other organizers as they move down the page or screen. You might read the title, subtitles, subheading, and illustrations. Consider reading the first sentence of each paragraph. This technique is useful when you're seeking specific
information rather than reading for comprehension. Skimming works well to find dates, names, and places. It might be used to review graphs, tables, and charts.
Scanning
is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim
My opinion
Skimming
is a technique to identify the main ideas from the text. If you read a text, you don't need to read word by word and also sentence by sentence,because it will be lost your time.For example:You quickly go through a twenty-page report in a few minutes, and determine the overall subject, tone, and a few key points.
Scanning
is a technique to looking for the key word or ideas. Because you just concentrate the key word or idea. And it also help the reader to determine wether it will answer your question.for example:You open the classified section of a newspaper, find the automobile section,and then mark a few cars within your price range

Skimming
Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or 'gist'. Run your eyes over the text, noting important information. Use skimming to quickly get up to speed on a current business situation. It's not essential to understand each word when skimming.
Examples of Skimming:
• The Newspaper (quickly to get the general news of the day)
• Magazines (quickly to discover which articles you would like to read in more detail)
• Business and Travel Brochures (quickly to get informed)
Scanning
Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information. Run your eyes over the text looking for the specific piece of information you need. Use scanning on schedules, meeting plans, etc. in order to find the specific details you require. If you see words or phrases that you don't understand, don't worry when scanning.
Examples of Scanning
• The "What's on TV" section of your newspaper.
• A train / airplane schedule
• A conference guide

SKIMMING AND SCANNING READING STRATEGY
Leticiaeoimairena ( 2009 : 11 ) states that Skimming and scanning are two specific speed-reading strategies, which enable you to use rapid eye movement and keywords to move quickly through text for slightly different purposes.
Skimming is a method of reading rapidly in order to get a general overview of the material. Skimming is like snorkeling. A. Skimming is useful in three different situations. They are :
1. Previewing (reading before you read)
2. Reviewing (reading after you read)
3. Determining the main idea from a long selection you don't wish to read, or when trying to find source material for a research paper.
Scanning is reading rapidly in order to find specific facts. Scanning is more like pearl diving. Use scanning in research to find particular facts, to study fact-heavy topics, and to answer questions requiring factual support. Scanning is very useful for finding a specific name, date, statistic, or fact without reading the entire article.

SKIMMING AND SCANNING READING STRATEGY
Elena Ben (2007 .1) mentioned Scanning: The kind of technique we use when looking up a word in a dictionary or in the Yellow Pages. You know what you are looking for so you are searching for that keyword or idea (you expect to find); i.e. you’re focused on finding a particular answer. When I scan a text, I look for words that are bold faced, italics, or in a different font size, style, or color.
Skimming: The kind of technique we use when reading a newspaper or magazine. We don’t know we are looking for yet but we want to know what the text is about, to see if it is of interest. What do I do to skim a text? It’s a personal decision, but what I usually do is to read the heading or subheading and check the illustrations and images, if any. Then I read the first and last lines of each paragraph.
Based on the explanation above it can assumed that scanning is high speed reading to look for information that we need by using key words (e.g when look for word on the telephone book or dictionary). And skimming is done at a speed three to four time faster than normal reading that useful when you want to survey a text to get a general of what it is about. in skimming you ignore the details and look for the main ideas. (e.g when u read newspaper, you are not probably not reading it word by word, instead you are scanning the text).

Kanchana Prapphal (2005: 1) states that, skimming refers to the process of reading only main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of the content of a reading selection. While scanning, is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.
From her definition, it can be assumed that, skimming is the reading technique which we use when we are reading something quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself.
For example when we are in the book store and want to buy a book. we will not read the book from the front to the back. We will just look at the title, the author and the information on the back cover of the book. By doing these, we will know what the book is about.
While scanning, is the reading technique which is used when we are reading something quickly to answer the question in our mind. We do it just for looking for the information we need, in the other word, we will pass the sentence which is not important for us.
For example when we are looking at the list of the exam result announcement. We will just look for the name which we want to know. We usually use our pointer to find it, of course by passing the other names. Then, when we find it, we will read more information about the name, like the score that he / she gets or others.

Scanning n Skimming
According to Jack C. Richards at all states that scanning is a type of speed reading technique which is used when the reader wants to locate a particular piece of information without necessarily understanding the rest of a text or passage. And skimming is a type of rapid reading which is used when the reader wants to get the main idea or ideas from a passage
From definition it can be assumed that skimming is a technique the reader to find the main idea in the text but scanning is a technique the reader to find specific or key word in the text without look at grammatical words.

Zulfah Aprilianti Trimiarsih (2010, January 17) states that Scanning means knowing what information you need to find before you read. You have something in your mind, your eyes, then, move quickly to find that particular information. You scan when you are looking for a fact or a detail or a particular vocabulary word. When you are scanning, you don’t have to read every word to answer the questions and don’t have understand every word. Skimming means reading quickly for general meaning. You skim reading material to find out about topic, the main idea, and generic structure of passage. For this kind of reading, you only want to find out something and don’t want to know and memorize everything you read. In fact, you should leave out everything except a few important words. There are the words that tell you the general idea. From the definition it can be assumed that Skimming means reading general information t find the main idea, topic and general organization of a passage. Scanning means reading specific information to find the detail word. For example of skimming and scanning is when we read the reading section of TOEFL, because it is a timed reading situation. Reading quickly for meaning is extremely important in order to finish the test and to answer question correctly. Adopted from : Zulfah Aprilianti Trimiarsih (2010, January 17), skimming and scanning.

2. SKIMMING AND SCANNING
Based on Chris Cotter (2000), Skimming and scanning are very important reading techniques. In short, skimming refers to looking through material quickly to gather a general sense of the ideas, information, or topic itself. When you skim, you read through an article three to four times faster than when you read each word.
Scanning refers to reading through material to find specific information. When you scan, you run your eyes over text or information to pull out specific words, phrases, or data.
According to the definition above, it can be assumed that, skimming is reading quickly to find the informations, ideas, general sense and about the topic.
For example, You pick up the newspaper in the doctor's office, thumb through the first few pages, and gather the gist of the events happening in the world.
On the other hands, scanning is reading that focus in every word that you read to get specific information in every word, data and phrases that you read.
For example, You open the classified section of a newspaper, find the automobile section, and then mark a few cars within your price range.
