SQ-4R:
Survey, Question- Read, wRite, Recite, Review3. Read
Because reading carefully and critically is a time-consuming
process in and of itself, many students tend to skip this
step and rely on skimming/surveying the information. However,
failing to read and comprehend the information can prove
detrimental in many cases because the majority of information
is revealed in the depths of paragraphs. Many terms appear
in the bodies of the paragraphs as well. While you are reading,
study graphs, illustrations, and examples intently to understand
the text more fully. You may want to use a highlighter to
emphasize and retrieve important information, and you will
probably want to write notes in the margins. These two additional
comprehension tools will help in class discussion and bring
out key ideas from the paragraph. Most of all, remember to
read with a purpose (answer the questions you previously
asked).
