READING/STUDY SYSTEM (SQ3R)

SQ3R is an abbreviation to help you remember the steps and to make references to it simpler. The symbols stand for the steps followed in using the method: Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review.

The SQ3R method is a proven, step-by-step strategic approach to learning and studying from textbooks. Why is it successful? Because it helps you to discover the important facts and ideas that are contained in your textbook, and master and retain that information so that you are prepared for an examination.

1. SURVEY - reading notes before class. This survey should take no more than 10-25 minutes, even on the longest chapter.
2. QUESTION - (before class) Turn each boldfaced heading into a question by using one of the following words: who, what, where, when, why, or how.
3. READ - (after class ) read the paragraph for the information.And find the answer for the question that have been formed.
4. RECITE  -  Recite the answer to each question to yourself. Put the answer into your own words, or rephrase the author's words. Be sure that you can recall the answer, not just recognize the information as correct. Write the questions in your notebook along with a few key words or phrases that summarize the answer.  
5. REVIEW -  look over your answer and the text.And ask what your text mostly about.Recalling the question and try to answer the question again.Recheck it until you gain the answer again.
