Skim the text first (skimming = quick reading to understand the general idea of the text by quickly reading the text: title, subtitles, look at the pictures, read the first and last sentence(s) of every paragraph; read the introduction and the summary if present)

Read the questions

Scan the text = quickly read the entire text for specific information (nouns, names, numbers, etc.)

Close reading = read the text thoroughly to get very detail in the text. Read every word and pay attention to the grammar, punctuation, linking words and phrases.
