Scanning

Mr Wong's learning for reading was about the reading strategy scanning. Scanning is a reading strategy where you look for specific information in a text to understand the text.

We created a list of keywords on a Google Document to guide us. There were eight requirements that we answered.

To scan we first looked at the contents page in the book, our text didn't have a contents page, so we moved to the next step.

Next we looked at the heading. If the heading contained one of our keywords we noted, we started reading the information in the body.
