SQ-4R:
Survey, Question- Read, wRite, Recite, Review1. Survey
The first step in the SQ-4R process is surveying the information.
For example, if you are studying a specific chapter, browse
through it, focusing on the headings, bold print, and graphs
and pictures. Try not to concentrate too heavily on understanding
specific terms and ideas, but rather focus on skimming the
words/phrases to use for further reference. For example,
skim the introduction and conclusion, spotlighting who, what,
when, where, how information. Look at the table of contents,
quotes at the beginning of the chapters, and/or preview of
the study section. This survey will help you understand the
direction the author will take and will familiarize you with
the concepts to be comprehended with further studying.
