  1. SQ3R An active study-reading strategy The more active you are, the faster you learn.

  2. Step 1 Survey

  3. Survey Examples • What planning do you do before going on vacation? • What preparation must be done before building a house? • What do you do to get ready for a date?

  4. Bottom Line • In life, we prepare before we do something. • You need to prepare to read.

  5. How to Survey • Read titles and subtitles • Read bold-face print, italics • Read questions at end of section/chapter • Look for key words • Skim through introductions and conclusions • Look for margin notes • Study graphics, tables and charts

  6. Purpose of Survey • Improves background • The better your background, the better your comprehension. • Improves comprehension • You will remember more • Maps out reading

  7. Step 2 Question

  8. How to Question • Turn first bold faced subtitle into a question • Ask what • Ask who • Ask why • Ask how

  9. Purpose of Questioning • Gives reader a reason to read • Forces reader to pay attention • Gives reader a “shopping list”

  10. Example of Questioning • Heading: Particles in a Solid • Think: What might be contained in this paragraph? • Question: How are particles in a solid arranged?

  11. You Try Questioning • Heading: Scale and Size of Atoms • Think: ______________________ • Question:

  12. Step 3 Read

  13. How to do Step 3: Read • Read only one section at a time, looking for the answer to the question • Look for answers to questions • Talk to yourself • Write in margins • Highlight • Draw graphic organizers

  14. Purpose of Reading • Read with the purpose of finding the answer to the question • Keep the reader’s mind focused on the text

  15. Step 4 Recite

  16. How to Recite • Stop at the end of the section • Recall the question and answer it by: • Saying the answer aloud • Saying the answer silently • Taking notes If the question cannot be answered, re-read-think and try again

  17. Purpose of Recite • Reciting transfers information from working memory to long term memory • Think about the reading for 5-7 seconds to transfer info to long term memory • Without reciting, info will be discarded from working memory in 18-20 seconds.

  18. Step 5 Review

  19. How to Review • Return to first sub-title and recall question • Recall answers • Summarize all questions/answers • Say it, write it, draw it

  20. Purpose of Review • Locks information in long-term memory • The greatest amount of forgetting occurs right after learning. Review slows this process • Get to see all the important info one last time.
