Skimming
Skimming is a reading technique which is used when you face long texts and limited time. So you have to read datathree to four times faster than ordinary reading. Again, every word is not read. While skimming you don’t pay attention to details. Your aim is to overview the organization of the text and its main idea. This will include attention to title, headings, introduction and conclusion, the beginning and the final sentence of each paragraph. Researchers use skimming when they search articles for areas of interest. It allows the researcher to find specific information and choose which article will be helpful. Skimming is also a useful pre-reading habit. If you skim any text before its close reading you will read it more fluently and accurately later, whatever your purpose of reading is.
