Reading Skill Practice: Scanning for Information

On the TABE test, you have to read and answer questions about what you read in a limited period of time. It's important to know how to scan a reading selection for key words so that you can find the answers you need quickly. If you read every single word, you may find the answers to the questions, but you'll run out of time and you won't finish all of the questions on a timed test. Scanning is something you have to practice a lot before you can do it well under time pressure.

My suggestion: Click on the link below to improve your skill in scanning for details (specific pieces of information), rather than slowly reading every word.
