Scanning Paragraphs

ស្កេនអត្ថបទស្វែងរកព័ត៌មានលម្អិត

Scanning is reading quickly to locate specific facts like names, numbers, or schedules without reading every single word.

ការស្កេន គឺជាការអានយ៉ាងលឿនដើម្បីស្វែងរកព័ត៌មានជាក់លាក់ណាមួយ ដូចជា ឈ្មោះ តួលេខ ឬកាលវិភាគ ដោយមិនបាច់អានគ្រប់ពាក្យទាំងអស់នោះទេ។

Is scanning the same as skimming?

Hi Vireak! They are different. Skimming is reading quickly to get the "main idea" of a text. Scanning is acting like a search engine to find one specific fact, like a date or a price. search

If the exact word isn't there, you need to use Strategy 2: Look for Synonyms. For example, if you are looking for "Schedule", try scanning for "Timetable" or "Itinerary" instead! edit_document

I feel anxious when I don't read every word. How can I practice?

It is very normal to feel that way! Start small. Use a phone book or a menu. Give yourself 5 seconds to find one specific name or dish. Using a timer helps train your brain to let go of the other words. timer
