Preview skimming is when you get a glimpse of the general idea of the material before you read it. It encourages the eye to move quickly over the material.īecause reading does involve comprehension, Skimming is done through multiple reading processes:- Preview Skimming What Is The Method And Processes Of Skimming For Reading?Ī method sometimes used for Skimming is Meta guiding, which is visual guiding of the eye using a finger or a pointer (a pen) to follow and move faster along the length of the text. A greater understanding of the way that text is read on the Web would assist many producers of online content.Improving efficiency and productivity can be achieved when this speed-reading technique is used correctly. Combining satisficing with some form of scanning or sampling behaviour could explain patterns of reading found on the Web. Further analyses of gaze patterns for paragraphs and pages supported this explanation. We suggest readers achieve this by satisficing - reading through text until the rate of information gain drops below threshold and then skipping to the next section of text. Results indicated that readers were able to explicitly direct attention to the most important information in the text and that this improved performance on a subsequent test of memory for the meaning of text. This article presents novel analyses of these eye-movement data. In a previous study, Duggan and Payne tracked readers' eye movements as they skimmed through expository text under time pressure. A greater understanding of the way that text is read on the Web would assist many producers of online content.ĪB - Readers on the Web often skim through text to cope with the volume of available information.
