Reading strategies are cognitive tools that help the reader construct the meaning of a text. Which alternative correctly describes the skimming strategy?
- A Reading the text in detail, word by word, analyzing all grammatical structures for deep comprehension.
- B Reading the text quickly to get the main idea (gist), focusing on titles, subtitles, the first and last paragraphs, and key words.
- C Looking for specific information in the text (such as a name, date, or number) without reading the entire text.
- D Translating the text literally, word by word, into the native language, without concern for the overall meaning.
