2. SQ3R Reading strategy

 Even the technology today is very high, yet many people still read.

I always liked to read different books, magazines or articles, but as my reading to be an effective one I started to adopted  the SQ3S method of reading, which helped me to understand how can I read efficiently and I became more organised with my study.

Dividing the symbol of SQ3S in words they mean:

Survey, Questions, Read, Recite, Review.

 S-Survey: scan the chapter, read the first paragraph and the conclusion, pay attention to pictures, diagrams and maps, note the key words or terms boldface. Look for any questions at the end of the chapter.

Q-Questions: ask yourself what the chapter is about, turning the heading into questions, write down questions in your own words, this will help you to retain the information more deeply.

R-Read: know you are ready to read the material. Taking care to understand all the points that are relevant. Try to answer all the questions and write them down, if you are stuck go back and re-read the material.

R-Recite: practising out loud what you have written down, talk to yourself, thinking about all the questions and try to answer them. The written questions and answers can help you for study in the future.

R-Review: go back through the material reciting the questions and answers. Test your memory. Review your study notes often to help you to remember the information.

The SQ3R is a great method to have an efficient study , I recommend it to you and I’m sure you will be an active reader. 

That easy !
