The "skim for gist" method, really helped me?

Hello everyone:
I think that the "skim for gist" really helped me to read more efficiently and even quicker, i think that was the purpose of this week.

This kind of methods are very important for everybody, such as children, young people and college or university students, because everybody can learn 'em, well, it depends of each one's capacities or skills.
This method can really help to summarise a big text, because we only have to take the main idea of each one, it helps us to understand better a text, doesn't matter if it is a big one, because we will read quicker and even efficiently.

For children and young people, this method can help in cases such as: when they have to read a book and they only have very short time, they can use it to read faster or for only take the main ideas, other case can be when they are studying and it is a big topic so they can use it to take only the main ideas, such as the first case.

For college or university students like us, it can helps us to make our thesis, so we can read a large book faster and more efficient.

Well, this activity not only helped me to understand better a text, it also helped me to make a better summary with only the main ideas.

Bye...

What I particularly like about this method is that unlike other is extremely simple.

In other methods you have to read from top to bottom, left to right and is very complicated.

I agree with you Milly. Greetings!
