SQ3R

Description
> SQ3R is a reading and comprehension strategy. Although it comes naturally to many good readers, other students need explicit instruction in approaching difficult texts. > S = Survey. Pre-reading scan: look at the titles and subtitles; identify the vocabulary; look at the visuals; identify focus questions. > Q = Question. Also pre-reading: identify questions for reading focus (what is the article about?); provide students with a list of questions or have them devise their own list. > R1 = Read. Read actively, looking for answers to the questions. Re-read passages as needed. No notes taken in this strategy. > R2 = Recall. Try to answer the questions without using the text. > R3 = Revise and review. Check answers with the text and revise as needed; review what you learned.
