I am Learning to Find and Summarise Information in texts by Skimming and Scanning.

I am in Pascal group for reading. We have been learning about skimming and scanning texts in order to find information. If you need to find certain information, it is easier and faster to skim and scan the text instead of reading the whole story.

Reading Response.

Book: Picnic Weather

Name 2 Main Characters:
1. Nick
2. Mum

What was the problem?
Anna's mum says the weather will be sunny and Nick's dad said that it will be cold and Preeta's Grandad said it will rain. Anna doesn't know what to wear to the picnic.

What was the solution?
They watched the weather forecast.

My Reflection
It is easier to read the story fast to find the information than to read it all properly.
Sometimes I can make mistakes when I am skimming and scanning because I am looking so fast.
