READING /STUDY SYSTEM (SQ3R/) πŸ’–

πŸ’«πŸ’«CREATE AWARENES πŸ’«πŸ’«

Reading academic materials are different from general reading tasks (story books, newspaper). Using a study system can help in comprehending reading academic materials due to three factors:

1. active learning strategies
2. use of multisensory methods (eyes, ears, mouth, hands – refer to the learning pyramid)
3. immediate steps for self-testing and review

πŸ’ SQ3R: SURVEY-QUESTION-READ-RECITE-REVIEW πŸ’

SQ3R is a comprehension strategy that facilitates students think about the text they are reading while they are reading. As a study strategy, SQ3R helps students “get it” the first time they read a text by teaching students how to read and think like an effective reader.

πŸ‘‰This strategy includes the following five steps (Robinson, 1946 in Adolescence Literacy):

🌹1. Survey: Students review the text to gain initial meaning from the title, subtitle, chapter introduction or lead-in, boldfaced headings, graphs, charts, pictures, the final paragraph or summary and end-of-chapter material (study / discussion questions, vocabulary list).

🌹2. Question: Students try to form questions based on the preview (survey). 

🌹3. Read: As students read, they need to look for answers to the questions they formed during their preview of the text. These questions, based on the structure of the text, help focus students' reading.

🌹4. Recite: after each section, pause. Students will attempt to answer questions formed earlier. If students could not answer, then look back and find the answer in the section. Students should recite and rehearse the answers to their questions. Summarize the information. As students move through the text they should recite or rehearse the answers to their questions and make notes about their answer for later studying.

🌹5. Review: After you have finished reading the whole reading assignment, refer back to each heading. Recall your questions and try to answer the them. If you cannot recall, go back and find the answer. This part is to test yourself.
