Abstract

Reading comprehension is a critical skill for success in higher education, and students often employ various reading strategies to enhance their understanding of academic texts. This article explores the effectiveness of three common reading strategies – skimming, scanning, and previewing – on the reading comprehension of higher education students. We examine the benefits and limitations of each strategy and provide practical insights for educators and students to optimize their reading approaches.
