3.Locate key words-read the surrounding material.

test-nouns-reflect the questions(problem, solution, idea, goal, improvement, danger)
help you interpret the text and writer's opinion (verbs-must, can, help, ensure, offer, measure, change,and adj/adv-probably, without, doubt, definitely, possible, much worse)
5.Think of paragraphs for key words from the questiion and look for them in the text.
Skimming and scanning work together.
If you have skimmed the text effectively-you will have a better idea of where to find the information.
Difference
Skimming-don't know what looking for
Scanning-have a question in the mind/find answer.
Skim ahead and jump back
Skim ahead

1.Skimming ahead enables you to see what's coming up.
2.This head start will give you an idea of what's important in the passage you're about to read.
Jumping back
Effects
1.Jumping back helps you remember the information you just read.
2.You can see how each idea fits into the whole and how ideas and information are conneteed.
3.highlighting and underlining key words and ideas
Be selective
Watch for clues
4.looking up unfamiliar vocabulary words
Whenever possible, have a dictionary with you when you read.
We should know what the words mean so that we can understand what someone saying
After all, a key word or phrase can change the meaning of a whole passage.
If you don't have a dictionary with you,try to figure out what the words mean.
5.reading with a pencil :underlining,highlighting,annotating
We should
1.You will underline or highlight key passages, and make annotations in the margins.
When you review the essay you can easily locate the main passages.
2.Don't overdo a good thing.
If you find yourself underlining or highlitighting most of a page, you are probably not thinking carefully enough about what the keys points are.
3.Your marginal annoutations should be brief and seletive.
4.What you annoutate will depend largely on your purpose.
Annoutations might include:
questions
opinions
strong pieces of evidence
key points
ideas with which you disagree
good or poor supporting data or examples
inconsistencies
key terms or definitions
contrasting points of view
key arguments
words with strong connotations
figures of speech(images that reveal the writer's feelings).
5.In short, in a paragraph you might inderline or highlight a key definition.
6.recording your questions and comments
As we read, we will have questions and comments.This time we should read with a pencil.
With a pencil, we can take notes
Taking notes can keep us actively involved with your reading.
It makes us think more carefully about what you read-and that means you will better understand and remember the material.
