Skimming and Scanning When you have a specific question to answer or information to collect, you need to be able to skim a page quickly to find the section you need.

If all you want is one piece of information, skimming can be a time- saving device. I find it’s especially useful when you’re researching something and you don’t want to have to read whole pages on a subject just to get a few pieces of information!
