Scanning Practice Hunt Worksheet

Scanning means moving your eyes quickly over a text to find a particular detail. Before you begin, decide what kind of detail you need, such as a date, a name or a number. You do not need to read every word.

Read this passage

At Brookfield Orchard, researchers began tracking how warmer springs affect fruit trees. The weather sensors were set up on the twelfth of April in 2024. Amelia worked with her colleague Zainab to place them beside the pear trees. Their notes showed that the first blossoms appeared six days earlier than in 2020. The team recorded an average spring temperature of 11.6°C. A £1,450 community grant paid for the sensors and a rain gauge. Orchard manager Tomasz said the records would help growers choose when to protect young blossoms from frost. The team plans to share its results at the county food fair on 3 September.
