State the specific information you are looking for.
Try to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you might use to help you locate the answer. For example, if you were looking for a certain date, you would quickly read the paragraph looking only for numbers.
Use headings and any other aids that will help you identify which sections might contain the information you are looking for.
Selectively read and skip through sections of the passage. Scanning is a reading technique to be used when you want
to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a
question in your mind and you read a passage only to find
the answer, ignoring unrelated information. How to scan:<br>

Extensive reading Extensive reading is an approach to language learning, including foreign language learning, by the means of a large amount of reading.
The learners view and review of unknown words in specific context will allow the learner to infer the word's meaning, and thus to learn unknown words.
Extensive reading is contrasted with intensive reading, which is slow, careful reading of a small amount of difficult text<br>

Intensive reading Intensive reading aims at giving the reader a deep and detailed understanding (comprehension) of the text and how its meaning is transmitted or carried. Intensive reading is used to develop specific reading skills. In intensive reading the reader pays attention to the contents of the text and also to how it is written.<br>

The aim of intensive reading is:
- to read for accuracy - to develop different reading skills - to analyze the text read
Steps for teaching intensive reading:
i) introduce the text to the pupils ii) teacher gives learners guiding questions to give a purpose for reading iii) Learners read as they take note of the answers to the guiding questions. iv) Pupils in small groups discuss answers to the guiding questions. v) Teacher clarifies general points not understood by learners. vii) Learners are given more work to assist them practice analyzing the text.<br>
