Chapter 8 Skimming: Reading to Find Main Ideas Reading quickly to identify the main idea

Chapter 8 Reading: Marking Key Points Text marking- Finding and marking key ideas with a highlighter or underlining Deciding how much to mark- Marking to separate main ideas from small details

Chapter 8 What should be marked in the following? Steps in Skimming: 1.As fast as possible read the first few sentences (or paragraphs). This tells you about the passage's content. 2. Start skipping words. On the third or fourth sentence, let your eyes hit only key words and phrases. Key words are usually nouns or verbs. 3. Read the last few sentences (or paragraphs). These will often summarize main ideas. 4. Try to find the main idea and a few facts. Skimming gives you a general idea of content rather than specific details.

Chapter 8 Labeling Main Ideas Label (write in words) the main ideas that you marked so that you will know why you marked them later
