❑Teaching About Skimming, Identifying text
structure, and Comparing text (Differences and
similarities)

Skimming requires the ability to read and recognize good words
because the skimming process requires knowledge and
understanding.

How to skim?
First, carefully read the first paragraph to identify the main ideas
that will be discussed in the article. When you've understood the
main idea, read the first sentence of each paragraph. This topic
sentence contains the main ideas that will be discussed in that
paragraph because it is a topic sentence. You can search further if
you don't find the main idea in the first sentence.
At the end of a topic sentence, you can search for important details
contained in that paragraph such as, date, name or number.
Continue to do this until the final few paragraphs. In the final
paragraph, you can stop skimming because the conclusions are
usually at the end of the article. You can start reading the final
paragraph in more detail to be able to understand the whole text.

Text structure refers to how the information within a written text
is organized. This strategy helps students understand that a text
might present a main idea and details; a cause and then its effects;
and/or different views of a topic. Teaching students to recognize
common text structures can help students monitor their
comprehension.
