With reading, your focusing on the words and taking your time while “reading” something. On the other hand, scanning is when you’re quickly looking at a paper for example when you’re looking for an answer in a book, and you briefly just zoom through it.

Answer:

Reading is when you are reading each word of the text while scanning is when you are briefly and quickly looking at the text.

Hope this helps :)
