SKIM
When we are using fast the Reading process, the first
technique that we use is skimming.

idea of the text.

How do we get that?

Just read it rapidly in order that you notice
very quickly.

This step is vital, because the first paragraph give you more information
about the content of the text.

3.- Read and

underline the first
two lines of each
paragraph.

4.- Sub-headings and

subtitles are very
important too, if they
exist.

1. Skim

This is really important too, because

usually on the first two lines comes all
the information about the paragraph,
it is a kind of summary of the text,
what is going to be on the paragraph.
If they exist, they are going to give
information as same as the title.

5.- Read and

underline the last
two lines of each
paragraph (very
quickly)

This step it is not very necesary, but
