Skimming is a reading technique that can reduce your time by using rapid eye movement to go through the text for specific information quickly. It is effective to get an overview of a topic or decide whether the text includes the information you need.
1. Read the table of contents and then the main headings
2. Read the introductory paragraph then, the topic and closing sentence of each paragraph in the text.
3. Look for keywords indicated in boldface or italics. Later, read that sentence quickly. If you see the information you need, read the entire sentence.
You will never imagine how much time and energy you save for your studies. 😊
