  2. What is SQ3R? • SQ3R is a study method designed to assist students with reading comprehension • SQ3R – an acronym meaning Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review • Derived from F.P. Robinson’s review of research on studying • S – Surveying headings and summaries increases speed of reading, helps students remember the text, and provides an overview of the text • Q – Questioning before reading each section improves comprehension • R – Reading the text, Reciting from memory, and Reviewingwhat you’ve read immediately after reading slows down forgetting what you’ve read

  3. What is SQ3R? • 50% of what you have learned in a day is forgotten the next day; therefore, students are only able to answer just 25% of questions asked about a text. • Students who review material immediately after reading have retention rates of more than 80% the next day. • In one study, students who spent 20% reading and 80% reciting were able to answer twice as many questions about the text than those who simply read the text (Gates, 1917).

  4. Why use SQ3R? • Students are using text structures, such as headings; subheadings; words in the text that are bolded, italicized, or underlined; and visuals. • Students are using prior knowledge to support comprehension by making inferences and drawing conclusions. • Students are answering critical thinking questions.

  5. Why use SQ3R? • Students are skimming the material to gain an overview of the main points of the material. • Students are distinguishing between relevant and irrelevant information. • Students are identifying central ideas and uncovering what is behind these ideas.

  6. Teaching SQ3R • Even though SQ3R was originally designed for college students, teaching it in the upper elementary grades prepares students for the future. • Teaching the concept this early may reverse detrimental study habits students may have already developed • Teaching young students how to survey material, make predictions, and read to answer questions helps students develop their critical thinking skills.

  7. Teaching SQ3R • Once students have begun to read long texts (i.e. texts on standardized tests), you can introduce them to the SQ3R principles. • Successful use of the SQ3R method requires being able to generate main ideas and having knowledge of text structures. • Teach SQ3R carefully, making time for practice and application. • Be consistent in teaching SQ3R. It requires constant review.
