Skimming technique is a quick read. It is used in order to obtain an overview of the content of a text. This type of reading is quick and active, reading more attention must be focused towards the general idea of the text. For use certain strategies are applied such as:

(a) Locate keywords related to the topic of the text to read.

(b) Locate words that are repeated.

(c) Locate words that are similar to Spanish.

(d) Observe typographical aids (letters in bold, highlighted, titles, sub-titles, graphics, etc..), since they break the text and identify the contents of each part. Very often in bold (baldheads) definitions and key terms. Graphs and maps have titles and / or headers that tell of trying. All these tracks will help you find the information you're looking for.

ScanningThis technique is used in order to locate specific information (data, details, date, names, etc.). It involves moving your eyes quickly over the length of the text "hunting" information, ie looking for specific words and phrases. The defined objective is to find the desired data, ignoring the rest of the content. This reading technique is also known as reading and skipping is recommended to improve understanding and reading speed (it prevents the re-reading longer texts) which allows us to solve reading comprehension exercises more effectively .

This technique is one that we apply when we look for a number in the phone book, find dates, names and places, but also can be used to revise paragraphs, tables and maps, and that what we do is look for specific information.

These methods will make reading easier to capture large amounts of information in a limited space of time. These techniques can also be used when you do not need to know the meaning of every word to understand the message of the text.

PredictingEffective readers use pictures, titles, headings, and text—as well as personal experiences—to make predictions before they begin to read. Predicting involves thinking ahead while reading and anticipating information and events in the text. After making predictions, students can read through the text and refine, revise, and verify their predictions.The strategy of making predictions actively engages students and connects them to the text by asking them what they think might occur in the story. Using the text, students refine, revise, and verify their thinking and predictions.

Previewing

This technique involves a preliminary review of the reading material likely. That review can generate a number of ideas that can help us decide whether the material in question we find it appropriate and useful to our purposes and, if so, tell us how to deal with it.

For the application of this technique have several steps, which include:

(a) Asking questions related to the title of the material, trying to generate hypotheses content.

(b) review the author's name, publication date, and other information identifying the work or reading material (this in order to verify whether the material is relevant or not for our purposes of reading or seeking information).

(c) If a periodical or book, check out the preface or introduction to search for relevant information.

(d) Review the table of contents, index, appendix, etc.. to form an idea of the structure of the work (if a book or novel for example).
