Skimming and scanning

This week we were learning how to do skimming and scanning. Skimming is reading topic sentences to get a basic idea of a book or text. Scanning is looking for key words to find information you need.

I had to find answers in a book called, "Bright find gold"using those 2 strategies. There were skimming question and scanning questions.

For the skimming questions I needed to use that skill to find an answer for each question.

For the scanning questions I need to explain the first, middle and last part of the text.
