• This is a reading skill employed to obtain the general idea of a text,to find out the writer's point of view and to see how to contents in a passage are arrange.
• When a text or a passage is too long and we have limited amount of time,we use this reading technique.
• The speed in which we read is three or  four times faster than the speed of normal reading.
• when skimming,look for key words and phrases,the headlings or sub-headlings for the general idea of the passage.
• In short,directly look to main idea and search to it.

2. Non-Linear
