SQ3R= Survey- Question- Read- Recite- Review

 

 

Question

As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:

·       Turn the title, headings or subheadings into questions.

·       Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

 

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

 

 

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

 

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs, and illustrations – these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.

It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills.

In college, you’ll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for several different courses at the same time.

SQ3R helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time most efficiently. Here’s how this strategy works.

 

Survey

Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

   Read the title, headings and subheadings.

   Notice words that are italicized or bold.

   Look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material.

   Read captions.

   Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.
