Reading to search involves looking for information, often through skimming for general information and scanning for specific details (Grabe & Stoller, 2011). Many small or simple reading tasks employed at the university fall into the category of reading to search. Quizzes, multiple-choice exams, worksheets, notes, etc. all require some ability to find information quickly. These tasks and assignments usually result in at least a basic understanding of the text. In reading to search, learners do not need to fully understand the text; basic understanding is usually all that is needed. For example, when doing a worksheet for class, they can quickly skim the reading to get a basic idea of the topic and organization. They can then look at the questions and scan the text for specific information. Most reading tasks require some form of searching, however with some class assignments reading to search may be ALL that is needed.
