Survey - To survey a chapter in a textbook, students read and think about the title, headings and subheadings, captions under pictures, vocabulary in bold print, side entires on pages (if there are any), and the summary. Question - Next, students use the survey information, particularly heading and subheadings, to write prediction questions about what they are about to read. Students frequently need teacher assistance the first few times they use SQ3R in developing questions that will alert them to important concepts in the unit. Read - The third step is for students to read actively, looking for answers to their questions. They should also attend to boldface type, charts, graphs, and any other comprehension aid provided. Recite - Once the material has been read and questions answered fully, the students should test themselves on the material. Anything difficult to remember should be rehearsed aloud or recited. This multisensory experience helps the difficult material to move into short-term, and with practice, long-term, memory. Review - The final step is to review the information learned periodically. This can be done orally with a peer, through rewriting notes from memory and comparing to the students' master set of notes, or with mock quizzes developed by a peer or the teacher.

The SQ3R reading strategy is designed to help you read faster and retain more information from the reading you do. SQ3R stands for the steps you should take while reading. Survey: Skim the text you are about to read. This will give you an idea of what the text is about and what you should learn from reading it. Pay particular attention to diagrams, summaries, chapters, headings, chapter goals and end of chapter questions. Question: Ask yourself questions before reading, during reading and after reading. Asking questions beforehand sets goals before you start reading. You can then make sure you achieve these goals by making sure all questions are answered at the end. Read: Read the text and fill in the details around the main points you already know. Keep your questions in mind and search for the answers to your questions. Read in detail and make sure you understand all of the text. Take notes the way you prefer. Recall: After chapters/sections ask yourself the questions you set beforehand and make sure you can answer them. If not, go back and read the chapter/section again. Make notes of the core facts in each paragraph of the text.ADD MIND MAPS,CONCEPT MAPS Review: Reread the document and if necessary add to your notes. Sharing knowledge with others or teaching them what you have learned can help you to retain the information. Relating what you have learned to personal experiences can also help to retain the information.

Q3R
The SQ3R method is a sequence of strategies to be followed when reading content area or informational texts following five steps. (Yes, we know, you're tired of hearing about SQ3R. It just works.)
1. Survey. The students survey what they are about to read. This should give the students an

idea as to the content and organization of the text.

2. Question. The students return to the first section of the text they are to read and

formulate a question. This sets the purpose for reading.

3. Read. The students are to read the first section in an attempt to answer their proposed

question. If their first question is not answered, they formulate a new one and answer it.
4. Recite. The students answer their question in their own words, either orally or written

without looking back at the text for help.

5. Reviewing. The students review the material by again answering the questions they

formulated without the aid of the text. 6. Repeat steps 1-4 for each section of the text until the assigned reading is complete.
