· One thing that is sometimes necessary for even college students is modeling. Model using the SQR3 with a chapter or paragraph to help students understand what needs to be done. Here is a template that can be used to do this with SQR3:
PQRST
Another method to give to students for assistance might be the PQRST (Preview, Question, Read, Self-Recitation, Test) method. Here is a site that illustrates this method, and includes SQR3 (telling students how long each step should take).

As a means of allowing students practice with PQRST, the following is included to provide a model:
Useful Graphic organizers to utilize with PQRST:
This flow chart can be used by placing the topic that was read about at the top and then having students use this along with PQRST during the test step, to show how much they can remember after reading.
This four column chart can be used in a similar way as the flow chart except there are spaces provided for subheadings and information to go under those subheadings as they try to test the information they retain after reading.
These cluster webs can be used in the same way as the flow chart.
This cluster web can be used in the same manner as the four column chart.

SCAN/RUN
Yet another method to show students is SCAN/RUN. This is something that can be utilized before reading the text. Here is a website that illustrates it as well as SQR3.
