Problem: Mikulecky (2011) states that scanning is a high-speed reading skill used for locating specific information - it helps answer most of the "W" questions (who, what, where, when, and why?) Pages 78-82 of our text provide examples of scanning exercises based on "realia" - reading from real life (restaurant menus, news articles, textbook passages, etc.) Attempt the exercises on pp.79-82 and discuss the following points: Which type of realia passage was easiest to scan? Which was most difficult? Reasons why? Were you able to answer most of the 5 W questions? Create a scanning activity for use with students. What will it be and how will you deliver it to them? In two paragraphs, explain how effective scanning makes students more strategic readers.
