Skimming (globaal lezen):

While studying:

• Let your eyes run along the pages
• Choose what to read (don't read everything)
• Read fast to get a general idea (don't read the details)
• Look for keywords, bold words, headings, titles, pictures and the main point (kernzinnen)
  

Scanning (gericht lezen):

Scanning (Gericht lezen)

While studying:

• Quickly looking for specific information
• You know what to look for when you scan
  
• Look for keywords (words, numbers, names)
• It's not about reading, it's about searching for information
  
• Take note of the headings, titles and pictures
