SQ3R - Reading Strategy Notes

The SQ3R reading strategy involves 5 steps: 1) Survey the text by previewing headings, questions, etc. 2) Question by turning headings into questions. 3) Read the text actively by looking for answers. 4) Recite by summarizing what was read. 5) Review what was learned by testing yourself with questions. The strategy is meant to be an active reading process where the reader engages with the text at each step to improve comprehension and retention of the material.

SQ3R- Reading Strategy

Level 3
Survey! Question! Read!
Recite! Review!
• Before you read, Survey
the chapter:

• the title, headings, and subheadings


• captions under pictures, charts, graphs or maps
• review questions or teacher-made study guides
• introductory and concluding paragraphs
• summary
• Question
while you are surveying:

• Turn the title, headings, and/or subheadings into


questions;
• Read questions at the end of the chapters or after
each subheading;
• Ask yourself, "What did my instructor say about
this chapter or subject when it was assigned?"
• Ask yourself, "What do I already know about this
subject?"

• Note:  If it is helpful to you, write out these


questions for consideration.  This variation is
called SQW3R
• Recite
after you've read a section:

• Orally ask yourself questions about what you have just read
or summarize, in your own words, what you read
• Take notes from the text but write the information in your
own words
• Underline or highlight important points you've just read
• Use the method of recitation which best suits your particular
learning style but remember, the more senses you use the
more likely you are to remember what you read - i.e.,
• TRIPLE STRENGTH LEARNING: Seeing, saying, hearing-
QUADRUPLE STRENGTH LEARNING: Seeing , saying ,
hearing, writing!!!
• When you begin to
Read:

• Look for answers to the questions you first raised;


• Answer questions at the beginning or end of
chapters or study guides
• Reread captions under pictures, graphs, etc.
• Note all the underlined, italicized, bold printed
words or phrases
• Study graphic aids
• Reduce your speed for difficult passages
• Stop and reread parts which are not clear
• Read only a section at a time and recite after each
section
• Review:
an ongoing process

• write questions for the notes you have


taken
• Make "flash cards"
• Develop mnemonic devices for material
which need to be memorized.
