 Skimming means to look quickly over a section of text to get a
general idea of the meaning. When you are skimming a text, what
you read is more important than the information you leave out.
 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
seem like something you would like to read in more detail.
SUBSKILLS
 Scanning means to look quickly over the text looking for specific
word(s) or facts.
 For example, if you are 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, you just want to find
your own.
