Research-reading sprint — Homework
Practice both strategies using any nonfiction book or article you have at home.
- 1.Skim the title and headings, or first sentences of paragraphs if there are no headings. In one sentence, what do you predict this text is about?
- 2.Time yourself: how many seconds did it take to scan the page and find one specific number or name? Pick one before you start.
- 3.What specific fact did you find by scanning?
- 4.Now read that same section slowly and carefully. What did you understand that skimming and scanning missed?
- 5.Describe one real-life situation, not schoolwork, where scanning quickly would be more useful than reading every word.
