  6. What is SQ5R? • A strategy for studying textbook chapters. • A way to learn more information in less time. • Emphasizes three ways we learn information. • Seeing • Hearing • Doing

  7. What is SQ5R? • A study technique that develops literal thinking skills. • Literal thinking skills • Knowledge • Comprehension • Application • Students use literal thinking skill to retain information • You must know a fact; • You must comprehend or understand the meaning of the fact; • You must apply that understanding in a new situation.

  8. SQ5R has seven steps • Survey • Question • Read • Respond • Record • Recite • Review

  9. What happens when you survey? • You read only the information that stands out.

  10. What does that mean? • Read the chapter’s title. • Read the chapter’s preview summary. • Read the titles of the chapter’s subdivisions. • Read words in boldface type. • Read words in italics. • Look at photos and other graphics. • Read the chapter’s concluding summary.

  11. How does this help? • After you have surveyed a textbook chapter, you have a general idea what the chapter is about. • You are ready for the next step: Question

  12. What does Question mean? • Turn the chapter’s title into a question. • Turn the chapter’s subdivision titles into questions.

  13. Here’s an example: • What are parts of speech? • Why do I need to understand parts of speech? • The chapter’s title is: “Understanding parts of speech”. What questions can you makeup for this title?

  14. How does this help? • Helps you decide what information to look for. • Gives you an idea where to find the information you need to learn. • Prepares for the first R: Read

  15. How should you read? • You don’t need to read the whole chapter. • Only read enough to answer your question. • Hint: Look for the key words of your question in the text following the title.

  16. How does this help? • Now you know what the answer looks like.

  17. What’s next? • Respond--say the answer out loud.

  18. How does this help? • Now you hear what the answer sounds like.

  19. What’s next? • Record--write the answer on a note card or in your notebook.

  20. How does this help? • Now you know how writing the answer feels.

  21. What’s the next step? • Recite-- Read the answer repeatedly until you have memorized it.

  22. What’s next? • Review--Test yourself. See how much you learned by answering your questions without looking at your notes.

  23. If you miss an answer? • Find the answer in your notes. • Back up one step. • Recite the answer until you think you have memorized it. • Repeat your review.
