Keywords:
Reading strategies, reading speed, skimming, scanning, flexible readers, quickly, time-saving techniques, effective.Abstract
This article is devoted to clarify the difference between two reading
techniques: skimming and scanning. This two techniques use rapid eye movement and
keywords to move quickly through text. Skimming and scanning are slightly various
techniques to improve reading speed. Both of them are used for different purposes, and they
are not used all the time. People who know how to skim and scan are very flexible readers.
This is because, they can read according to their aim and get the information they need
more easily and quickly without wasting time. The thing, which increases their reading
speed, is that they do not read every word. Their skills lay in knowing what specific
information to read and which methods to use.
