  2. Seminar I-Prax: Inhaltserschließung visueller Medien, 5.10.2004 Spree SoSe 2007 Reading techniques  ArbeitsschritteW When reading a text you don‘t always want to read the whole text. Often you use the text to pick up some useful information. Skimming is used to obtain the gist (the overall sense) of a piece of text. E.g. Use skimming to get the gist of a page of a textbook to decide whether it is useful and should therefore be read more slowly and in more detail. Scanning is used to obtain specific information from a piece of text. E.g. Use scanning to find a particular number in a telephone directory. Often you will use both reading methods. After you have skimmed a piece of text to decide whether the text is of interest, you may wish to use scanning techniques to locate specific information.
