These are reading strategies we use for speeding up our reading. In skimming you can read more in less time as it refers to look only for specific information or idea. Reading only 1st and last sentence you can get clear idea about the passage. However, scanning is to look only for specific fact or idea. For example, if we have to see the score of Afridi in score card, we will not read whole card but go for 5 or sixth number for we know he comes at this number.
