Reading sub-skill refers to the well-planned reading approach which helps the learners to comprehend and perceive the meaning of the text effectively. There are different kinds of reading sub-skills and 'scanning' is one of them.

Key Points

Scanning 

  • It involves quickly glancing through the text to find out a specific piece of information. It is used when looking into a dictionary, invoices, catalogs, etc.
  • It involves going through a text in search of a specific piece of information; such as searching for a specific name, date, word, phrase, figures, or percentage.
  • For example, going through an advertisement in the newspaper to look for a job vacancy. It is a reader-driven process and the text is processed at the surface level rather than at the deep structure level.

Hence, it could be concluded that the person is scanning the text.

  • Note making refers to the practice of creating notes by selecting, analyzing and summarizing the key element or main idea of a particular topic from several sources. 
  • Paraphrasing refers to the process of writing something in own words that still express the original meaning so that the facts remain intact.
