Urquhart and Weir (2005) show the method of using the skimming skill. Steps in skimming an article is reading the title, it is the shortest possible summary of the content, reading the introduction or reading the paragraph and reading the first paragraph completely if there are subheadings reading each one looking for relationships among them, reading the first sentence of each remaining paragraph such as the main idea or author pattern. Mastering the art of skimming effectively requires that you use it as frequently as possible. Skimming can usually be accomplished at about 1000 words per minute.
