What sort of reading is skimming?

Skimming is a reading technique that involves quickly reading a text to get a general idea of its main points. It is often used when you are looking for specific information or when you want to get a quick overview of a text. When you skim, you should pay attention to the title, headings, and subheadings, as well as the first and last sentences of each paragraph. You should also look for keywords and phrases that are relevant to your search.
