skimming

Skimming is a method of rapidly moving the eyes over the text with the purpose of getting only the main ideas and a general overview of the content.

Skimming steps:
1. Read the title  to find a shortest possible summary of the content
2. Read the introduction or lead in paragraph  to get little point of view
3. Read the first paragraph completely  usually it’s the main idea of the text
4. If there are subheading, read each one, looking for relationship among them  make closer to get possible summary
5. Read the first sentence of each remaining paragraph  if find a question or anecdote, we may find the last sentence more valuable.
