The document discusses the differences between skimming and scanning when reading comprehension. Scanning involves quickly searching for specific keywords, ideas, or answers. Strategies for scanning include looking for organizational elements like numbers, letters, or words. Skimming allows readers to quickly identify the main ideas of a text at 3-4 times faster than normal reading speed. When there is a large amount of material to read in a limited time, skimming is useful. Strategies for skimming include reading headings, titles, subtitles, illustrations, and the first and last paragraphs/sentences.
