Scanning
We have mentioned it before, but it can take repeating: reading is not just reading! There are lots of different ways of reading a text, depending on many different factors:
- How much time do I have to read the text?
- How important is the text for my needs?
- What do I want to get out of the text?
This module will help you to scan a text.
Scanning is a technique that you can apply when:
- you have only limited time to read a text;
- when the general content is important for your needs, but not all the details;
- when you want to understand the main ideas of the text.
