Sometimes you don’t have to read an article completely to get the necessary information. Often you can move your eyes quickly over the reading to find facts, names, dates, titles. For example, if you are looking for a date, you should move your eyes down the page looking for numbers. If you are looking for a person’s names, you should find capital letters. Punctuation is also a clue for finding specific information. Quotation marks (“), commas (,), parentheses ( ), and dashes (--) all separate special information.
