Children's Knowledge About Skimming.

Kobasigawa, A.; And Others

Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v26 n3 p169-82 Sep 1980

Spontaneous skimming was most clearly observed in 8th grade students, which indicated that the development of the use of skimming is an increasing integration of various pieces of knowledge. (JD)
