In this presentation we will talk about what is skimming, scanning, predicting,

previewing,

SKIMMING

It consists in giving a quick read, identifying key ideas or phrases, it is not necessary to read every word

text. It reads the first sentence of each paragraph and seeks to identify the key words or phrases each. At the end are extracted and recorded in order to uncover the gist of the text.

do not need to read everything. Reading questions are specific to different types of keys used for

through drawings and the same questions will indicate what you will find exactly.

Skimming techniques applied to reading, is one that allows the reader to reduce the number of words without affecting the understanding of the text. It is therefore to capture all of the ideas in the text, without reducing us to the main ideas or the secondary.

  In short, is somewhat akin to making a telegram from the whole text. The common way of speaking and writing includes a series of phrases without which the rules of grammar would be utterly useless. However, in deciphering its meaning without them we can not change one iota the ideas expressed.

SCANNING

Search Reading (Scanning), is a very quick read, the what question or part of a previous question that you have in mind. It is not necessary to read every word of the text, only those that we respond to the question or Initial questioning. Reading Practice this technique will help you learn to ignore all those important words or phrases and focus your attention on those that help you decipher the answer to the original question, so you can read a much more rapid.

PREDICTING

Predicting involves thinking ahead while reading and anticipating information and events in the text. After making predictions, students can read through the text and refine, revise, and verify their predictions.

The strategy of making predictions actively engages students and connects them to the text by asking them what they think might occur in the story. Using the text, students refine, revise, and verify their thinking and predictions.

The term can refer to both prediction "action and predict the effect of" 1 as "the words that express what is predicted" in this sense, predict something is "proclaim by revelation, science or guess something will happen »2

PREVIEWING

This previewing technique involves a preliminary review of the reading material likely. That review can generate a number of ideas that can help us decide whether the material in question we find it appropriate and useful to our purposes and, if so, tell us how to deal with it.

For the application of this technique have several steps, which include:

(a) Asking questions related to the title of the material, trying to generate hypotheses content.

(b) review the author's name, publication date, and other information identifying the work or reading material (this in order to verify whether the material is relevant or not for our purposes of reading or seeking information).

(c) If a periodical or book, check out the preface or introduction to search for relevant information.

(d) Review the table of contents, index, appendix, etc.. to form an idea of the structure of the work (if a book or novel for example).
