1. Looking Quickly to Get the Big Picture

   When we read a text, we do not always need to read every single word slowly. Sometimes, we want to find out what the text is about in just a few seconds! This reading skill is called skimming.

   When you skim a page, you:

   • Look at the title and headings first.
   • Check the pictures and photos.
   • Notice bold words or familiar words like family members and jobs.

   Tip: Skimming helps you guess the main topic quickly before you read the whole story!

   Jobs and Routines in the Family

   In our families, everyone has different roles, jobs, and regular habits. When you glance quickly at a short paragraph, look for keywords about jobs and routines:

   • Jobs: teacher, doctor, baker, engineer, vet.
   • Habits: reads a book every night, gets up early, walks in the park.

   Let's look at an example:

   "My father is a baker. He wakes up at five o'clock every morning. My mother is a vet. She loves helping sick animals after breakfast."

   When you skim this text quickly, you see the words baker and vet right away. You immediately understand that the text is about parents' jobs and habits!

   Errands and Neighbourhood Services

   Family members do different chores and errands during the week. They also visit different places in the neighbourhood for help or shopping.

   Common neighbourhood places and errands include:

   • Supermarket / Grocery store: buying milk, bread, and fruits.
   • Post office: sending letters and parcels.
   • Pharmacy / Chemist: getting medicine.
   • Bakery: buying fresh bread.
   • Library: borrowing books.

   When you look at a poster or a short note, pictures of shopping bags or buildings tell you right away that the text is about neighbourhood errands.

   Making Simple Comparisons

   We often compare family members by their age, height, or daily tasks. Look for comparison words ending in -er or words like more:

   • "My brother is taller than me."
   • "Grandpa is older than my uncle."
   • "The supermarket is busier on Saturdays than on Mondays."

   Remember: Skimming the title, noticing bold words, and looking at the pictures will help you understand the main idea of any family story in seconds!
