SQ3R
 This
is a way of reading which is
very thorough.
Survey - Question
- Read - Recall
- Review.
It
is
most
suitable
for
thorough
and
detailed
studying.
It
will
help
you
to
remember
and
understand
what
you
read.
Survey
First
make
a
rapid preview of
the
book.
You
are
trying
to
get
an
overview
of
the
book
or
article.
Look
for
the
main
points,
and
what
approach
it
takes.
This
will
form
a
basis
for
the
next
part
of
your
reading.
Question
Active
reading
will
help
you
understand.
Here's
what
you
should
do
for
'active
reading'.
Ask
yourself
- "What
is
the
main
point
being
made
here?"
"What
is
the
author
trying
to
explain
or
illustrate?"
"Have
I
understood
the
arguments
and
conclusions?"
Develop
a
questioning
attitude
to
the
writing.
Read
Now
start
reading
the
materials
carefully
and
in
depth.
This
may
be
a
slow,
once-only
reading
of
the
book.
Perhaps
you
will
take notes.
Remember
to
engage
actively
with
the
subject.
Recall
Make notes summarising
what
you
read.
This
will
help
you
to
remember
it.
You
could
highlight
important
parts
or
make
notes
in
the
margin.
Note
the
main
points
at
the
end
of
each
section
or
chapter.
Separate
sheets
of
notes
are
useful
when
you
are
revising.
Review
When
you
have
finished
reading,
go
back
over
the
material.
A
quick
re-reading
can
help
you
fill
in
any
gaps.
It
will
also
help
fix
the
subject
in
your
memory.
This
should
be
an
important
part
of
your
revision
for
exams. |
