PRE-READING SKILLS:
Surveying, Skimming, ScanningSlide3
Recall of Previous Session
Why do we need to pre-read?
What are the uses of pre-reading strategies?
What is the difference of pre-reading and reading?
Why are both important?
How do you do
scanning?
How can
scanning
help you as a reader?Slide4
Why do we need to pre-read?
We
don’t
always have the
time
to read, or the
interest
in the reading material.
Sometimes
, we just want to find out a
specific
bit of information.Slide5
Uses of
Pre-reading Strategies
help us become
effective managers
of our
time
,
resources
, and
energy
help us, the readers, build up
expectations and understandings
about a text before we begin reading itSlide6
It’s not enough to pre-read.
WE SHOULD READ.Slide7
Pre-reading Strategies
Surveying
Skimming
ScanningSlide8
ScanningSlide9
Scanning
PURPOSE: to help you find
one specific bit of information
within a relatively large body of
informationSlide10
Scanning
HOW IT CAN HELP YOU
uncovers
irrelevant
information
accelerates reading
speed and flexibility
you
know
the material has the information you want, you just
don’t know what specific page/chapter
it can be found
you are looking for something
unknown
, you won’t know exactly what it is
until you find itSlide11
Scanning
Parts of a
book
that can be helpful in scanning:
Table of Contents
Glossary
Index
headings
chapter titles
graphs, charts, tables, etc.Slide12
Scanning
HOW TO DO IT:
visualize
the “thing” or information to be spotted—have a clear mental picture of the words
use all
available clues
(headings, table of contents, boldfaced/italicized/underlined words)
use systematic
scanning patterns
run eyes rapidly in the material using
zigzag motion
wide,
side-by-side eye
movement (for newspapers and other wide prints)Slide13
