    Skimming is a reading technique that allows readers to quickly understand the main ideas and essential information of a document without reading every word. It involves reading at a fast pace to derive the gist, write key points briefly, and take the essence without thoroughly reading every detail. There are three types of skimming: preview, overview, and review. When skimming, readers should read the title, headings, first sentence of paragraphs, important names and dates, and conclusion to understand the key elements in just a few sentences or less.
