Review Skimming
❖ Review skimming is done on material that has already been read. The purpose is usually to refresh your memory. The best times to review are right after the material is learned and just before a test. It takes little time to review-skim. A good time to do it is while you are waiting for things to get started at the beginning of a class period. It gets you in the mood for the topic and refreshes your memory of the background material.

❖ Do not need to read everything in details. Just look at the important parts of the text, e.g. the title, the beginning, the end, the conclusion, the summary, the first sentence in each paragraph, etc.
❖ Read the last paragraph or the last two paragraphs to see if there is a summary or conclusion.

❖ Preview skimming involves dealing with the material before it is read. You are assuming that you will be reading the material later.

For example, a high school English course may be a year-long course whereas a college English course may be only one semester long. Finally, the college English student is expected to do most of his learning on his own outside of class; he is expected to be an independent learner.

It is important to note a basic difference between skimming and normal reading. While skimming leaves out some parts of the reading matter, the reader would usually omit no part at all in normal reading. Meanwhile, skimming also differs from scanning in that it is an effort to get general information rather than specific facts.
Overview Skimming
❖ It is used when you have a lot of material to read and don’t have time to read it all. This method is used more often than the other two. In this form of skimming, you are trying to get as much information as you can in one exposure. You do a bit more reading than in previewing. You are interested in getting the main idea and the significant facts rather than discovering the organization and the style.
