Most scholarly articles are written in a point, discussion, point paragraph format. You can easily grasp and discuss the content by reading the first sentence of each paragraph. If you want to get more bold, read every other and backup whenever you get lost. In some ways you actually are able to digest more of the POINT of the article as you are not bogged down by the discussion.
