Skimming and scanning text

#1

Hi there, I am wanting to model to my students how to “skim and scan” text when they need to find specific information - perhaps they are researching and trying to find key information or words in a text. Is there a video or article or a reference sheet for this strategy? Cheers :blush:

Have you looked at the suggestions under Using Text Features? I think that’s about the closest information we have on the website.

Here’s the link on the interactive menu, with all resources listed:
