ENHANCING READING SKILLS


SKIMMING AND SCANNING


Reading skills are very important for students in order to answer the reading comprehension and information transfer questions successfully. There should know how to skim and scan a text to find specific information to answer with the correct answers.


Skimming refers to the skill to identify the main ideas and supporting ideas in a text.
Scanning on the other hand is the ability to do a brief reading and provide an overview of a text.


These skills are not only important in answering reading comprehension and information transfer but also in writing. Without skimming and scanning skills students will not be able to answer questions like summary writing as well as effect their writing skills. They will not be able to differentiate what are main ideas and what are supporting ideas and how to organise them.


In such situation, many form one students could not use these outline types to organize their points and end up missing or jumbling any points and cant move from one point to another as they cant see the relationship between a point and an evidence or example resulting to a poor writing with coherence


In sum reading and writing are closely connected. Therefore as a teacher I need to make sure my students comprehend well the reading skills well.In such situation, I would love to share my resources with teachers.
