IELTS Reading - Skimming and Scanning

Video lessons are becoming more popular and more in demand in 21st century education. Here is a sample of once such video, this one giving tips and strategies on how to prepare for the reading section of the IELTS Exam.

[@CuriouslyCute]

I think it's amazing that you can talk so leisurely yet have such a short, concise video. That's new. :)
Thanks for the lessons. I never knew you could get an answer so fast!

[@Ahmed_bd88]

Uploaded 12 years before, but still better than most of the IELTS preparation video up to 2024 !

[@huuquan5355]

i can't agree more =))

[@zr0hrz2wlight]

Oh my gosh > this clip is so concrete to being visually defined to teach us all.
In general I like all reading strategies from developing out reading spans to speed-reading, photo-reading, proof-reading and this saving strategy from information overload skimming & scanning -you got to make all videos just like this ^one^ having interactive reading/animated visuals and of course audio to fit -This is a whole package delivery to utmost quality is so "perfect" -Thx

[@olmeckrav]
