SCANNING FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION

What does scanning means?

While you read the text you will find some important information, but
it is difficult if you have to read all of the paragraph and also it will take longer time

Thats why we need to read fast or later we call it scanning When you look for a telephone number or a name in an index, your eyes move quickly over the words until you find the particular information you are looking for. You ignore everything except the

specific information you want. Scanning is directed and purposeful

and should be extremely fast.

WHY SCAN ?
- In simple material : to find particular names, facts, words, numbers, and specific information - In less simple material : to find services, data, resources, when exact wording is not available - In complex material : to visualize and follow an argument, style, reasons, motifs, patterns, support for inference, evidence of sound logic/reasoning, evidence of faulty reasoning, propaganda, and/or bias - On the web : scanning is a method often employed to sift through the plethora of information available on the web

TIPS FOR SCANNING

- Read the question first, before you read the text - Move your eyes over the text seeking specific information you need, like numbers (1,2,3), words and phrases - When scanning, look for letters or step (like : first, second, next) - Look for words that are bold faced, italics, or in a different

font size, style, or color

- Read fast with scanning pattern :

- The Z sweep
- The S sweep
