as a teacher I think you can't separate between the four skills of teaching as you can teach them at the same time . For example you can't separate between speaking and listening Both of them complete each other. Also, you can't separate between reading and writing .
In short ,Scanning Reading is the act of reading quickly to find specific information from a text or article and/ or analyzing some of the ideas found in them. On the other hand, Skimming Reading is reading
quickly to find main ides(s) in a text or article. As educators, we should develop learners' skill of reading through the drill and activities that demand both types of reading.
Skimming and Scanning
Skimming and scanning are two very different strategies for speed reading. The technique you choose will depend on the purpose for reading. You can teach them separately or together depending on the text, the learner and the purpose of teaching.
· Skimming: get an overall impression
Skimming refers to looking only for the general or main ideas, and works best with non-fiction (or factual) material. Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word; instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
· Scanning: locate specifically required information
When scanning, you look only for a specific fact or piece of information without reading everything. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Scanning is a technique to trigger and extract key information and ideas such as names, numbers, and specific facts.

Scanning means knowing what information you need to find before you read. You have something in your mind, your eyes, then, move quickly to find that particular information. You scan when you are looking for a fact or a detail or a particular vocabulary word. When you are scanning, you don’t have to read every word to answer the questions and don’t have understand every word.
Skimming means reading quickly for general meaning. You skim reading material to find out about topic, the main idea, and generic structure of passage. For this kind of reading, you only want to find out something and don’t want to know and memorize everything you read. In fact, you should leave out everything except a few important words. There are the words that tell you the general idea.
