Ever heard your child say “this book is too long!” or “I don’t know where to start!”? That’s where skimming comes in — a powerful reading strategy that helps readers get the gist without reading every single word. 👀💡 🔍 What is skimming? It’s when you glance quickly through a text to get a general idea of what it’s about. You’re not reading for every detail, you’re reading for the main idea. ✨ Why it’s great for kids (and adults!): 🌸Builds confidence with longer texts 🌸Helps readers focus on what matters 🌸Boosts comprehension and memory 🌸A perfect first step before deep reading! 🧠 Try this: Ask your child to skim the headings, first sentences of paragraphs, and bold or italic words. Then ask: “What do you think this is about?” Watch full episodes on #UbongoPlayRoom: https://linktr.ee/ubongolearning #nuzoandnamia #inclusivelearning #skimming #readingcomprehension (fb)
