Skim a text?

Skimming Strategy

• Skim a text: Look at title - subheadings - pictures. You use this technique to quickly find out about the general idea of the text. 

Scan a text?

Scanning Strategy

• Skim a text: Look at title - subheadings - pictures. You use this technique to quickly find out about the general idea of the text. 
• Scan a text: Look at, for example, names, data, numbers, vetgedrukte woorden  (depends on the question).  You use this technique to find specific information.

Detailed reading

Detailed Reading Strategy
