The intention is to allow students to use the reading method learned in intensive texts, gradually formed an independent reading skills in skimming texts of the study. But in practice, skimming texts is the first line teacher’s blind spot, dealing roughly or completely ignored, do the same with intensive texts processing, and classroom issues such seemingly independent but actually ineffective in teaching, making skimming texts did not play to its proper role.Focus on these problems, this research based on textbook which is the version of People Educational Press. Comprehensive using literature method, questionnaire method and interview method, combined with internship experience in elementary school, to analysis, summary and improvement of skimming text teaching practice to put forward reasonable implementation strategy, provides the reference for the first line teachers’ teaching, improve the quality of the skimming reading teaching of primary school.This research is divided into four charters.The first chapter discusses the theoretical basis to skimming reading teaching in primary school.First of all, the arrangement of skimming reading meets the needs of elementary high section of the students’ psychological development. Second, we could use scaffolding theory to guide teaching. Skimming text is a scaffold relate to student’s independent reading. Teachers are the helper in the skimming reading study, him/herself is also a kind of scaffold. In the process of teaching, teacher should build the connection between known and unknown, and provide the support in student’s thinking.The second chapter is present situation investigation, the author handed out questionnaires in a primary school in Beijing.
