Skimming
is a type of scanning, because scanning is to glance at or over or read
hastily ie: to scan a page but also scanning is to examine the
particulars or points of minutely and/or scrutinize.
Skimming and scanning are two different reading skills. Skimming means looking at a text or chapter quickly in order to have a general idea of the contents. Scanning means looking at a text to find some particular information.
