Introduction<\/h2>\r\n

SQ3R is a useful technique for understanding written information. It helps you to create a good mental framework of a subject, into which you can fit the right facts. It helps you to set study goals and prompts you to use review techniques that will help you to remember.\"Blue<\/a><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\r\n

The acronym SQ3R stands for the five sequential techniques you should use to read a book: S<\/strong>urvey, Q<\/strong>uestion, R<\/strong>ead, R<\/strong>ecite and R<\/strong>eview. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Phase<\/th>\r\nDescription<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
Survey (S)<\/strong><\/td>\r\nScan the entire assignment to get an overview of the material. Read\u00a0<\/span>the headings to see the major points. Read the introductory paragraphs and the summary at the end of the chapter. Do not forget to look at the tables, pictures, etc. Remember, you are scanning the material and not actually reading every sentence.<\/span><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
Question (Q)<\/strong><\/td>\r\nMake questions that can be answered during the reading of the\u00a0material. This will give a purpose to your reading. Take a heading and turn it into a question. For example, if a heading in a chapter about Cell Division is in your biology text, make a question by turning the title around: \u201cHow does cell division occur?\u201d or \u201cHow many steps are involved in cell division?\u201d<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
Read (R)\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\r\nNow you read the material trying to find answers to your questions.\u00a0This is a careful reading, line by line. You may want to take notes or make flashcards.<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
Recite (R)<\/strong><\/td>\r\nAs you read, look away from your book and notes and try to answer\u00a0your questions. This checks your learning and helps put that information in your memory.<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
Review (R)<\/strong><\/td>\r\nTo check your memory, scan portions of the material or your notes\u00a0to verify your answers. Review the material and note the main points under each heading. This review step helps you retain the material.<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n
