Unit 3: Writing Skill: Scanning for Information (التصفح السريع للبحث عن معلومات)

Scanning is looking for specific details (like a name, date, or keyword) without reading the entire text.

How to Scan Effectively

Know what you're looking for: Identify your target keyword(s) before you start.
Move your eyes quickly down the page in a pattern (e.g., zig-zag). Don't read full sentences.
Look for your keyword or a related idea (synonym).
When you find it, stop and read the surrounding sentence carefully to get the information you need.
