2. Skimming
technique is a quick read. It is used in order to obtain an overview of the content of a text.
This type of reading is quick and active, reading more attention must be focused towards
the general idea of the text. For use certain strategies are applied such as:
(a) Locate keywords related to the topic of the text to read.
(b) Locate words that are repeated.
(c) Locate words that are similar to Spanish.
(d) Observe typographical aids (letters in bold, highlighted, titles, sub-
titles, graphics, etc..), since they break the text and identify the contents of each part. Very
often in bold (boldeados) definitions and key terms. Graphs and maps have titles and / or
headers that tell of trying. All these tracks will help you find the information you're looking
for.

4. Scanning
This technique is used in order to locate specific information
(data, details, date, names, etc.). It involves moving your eyes quickly over the length of the
text "hunting" information, ie looking for specific words and phrases. The defined objective
is to find the desired data, ignoring the rest of the content. This reading technique is also
known as reading and skipping is recommended to improve understanding and reading
speed (it prevents the re-reading longer texts) which allows us to solve reading
comprehension exercises more effectively .
This technique is one that we apply when we look for a number in the phone book, find
dates, names and places, but also can be used to revise paragraphs, tables and maps, and
that what we do is look for specific information.
These methods will make reading easier to capture large amounts of information in a limited
space of time. These techniques can also be used when you do not need to know the
meaning of every word to understand the message of the text.

6. Predicting
Effective readers use pictures, titles, headings, and text—as well as personal experiences—
to make predictions before they begin to read. Predicting involves thinking ahead while
reading and anticipating information and events in the text. After making
predictions, students can read through the text and refine, revise, and verify their
predictions.
The strategy of making predictions actively engages students and connects them to the text
by asking them what they think might occur in the story. Using the text, students
refine, revise, and verify their thinking and predictions.
7. Previewing
This technique involves a preliminary review of the reading
material likely. That review can generate a number of ideas
that can help us decide whether the material in question
we find it appropriate and useful to our purposes and, if
so, tell us how to deal with it.
For the application of this technique have several
steps, which include:
(a) Asking questions related to the title of the
material, trying to generate hypotheses content.
(b) review the author's name, publication date, and other
information identifying the work or reading material (this in
order to verify whether the material is relevant or not for
our purposes of reading or seeking information).
(c) If a periodical or book, check out the preface or
introduction to search for relevant information.
(d) Review the table of contents, index, appendix, etc.. to
form an idea of the structure of the work (if a book or novel
for example).
