Grade 4 · English · Reading (Intensive Reading: Skimming and Scanning)
Skimming is reading quickly to get the main idea. Scanning is looking quickly for a particular fact (a name, date or number). Read this passage: 'Wanjiru's school garden has 12 rows of kale. Every Thursday the class waters the plants after lunch. Last term they sold kale for 480 shillings and bought a new watering can.'
