SQR3

Survey:  Take a quick look at the assigned chapter or pages.  Pay attention to text features (headings, captions, subheadings, titles, charts, maps, diagrams, etc.)

• Write down what you think this reading assignment is about.

• Write down any questions you have from reviewing the text features of the assigned reading.

Question & Read: Look at the headings included in the assigned reading.  These heading can be turned into questions.  Read each section carefully and answer the heading questions you created.  Highlight important information or main ideas as you read, and write questions that come to your mind in the margins.

• Turn the headings into questions, and write them down where you put your notes or below.
• Answer the questions as you read each section.

Recite: Saying things aloud or recitation is important.  After reading each section say the questions and answers out loud; this will help with remembering what has been read.

Review: Review over all the questions that were written down, as well as things that were highlighted while you read, and questions in the margins.  This will help retention as well.
