Before you read, Survey
the chapter:
the title, headings, and subheadings
captions under pictures, charts, graphs or maps
review questions or teacher-made study guides
introductory and concluding paragraphs
summary
Question
while you are surveying:
Turn the title, headings, and/or subheadings into questions;
Read questions at the end of the chapters or after each subheading;
Ask yourself, "What did my instructor say about this chapter or subject when it was assigned?"
Ask yourself, "What do I already know about this subject?"
Note: If it is helpful to you, write out these questions for consideration. This variation is called SQW3R
When you begin to
Read:
Look for answers to the questions you first raised;
Answer questions at the beginning or end of chapters or study guides
Reread captions under pictures, graphs, etc.
Note all the underlined, italicized, bold printed words or phrases
Study graphic aids
Reduce your speed for difficult passages
Stop and reread parts which are not clear
Read only a section at a time and recite after each section
Recite
after you've read a section:
Orally ask yourself questions about what you have just read
or summarize, in your own words, what you readTake notes from the text but write the information in your own words
Underline or highlight important points you've just read
Use the method of recitation which best suits your particular learning style but remember, the more senses you use the more likely you are to remember what you read - i.e.,
TRIPLE STRENGTH LEARNING: Seeing, saying, hearing-
QUADRUPLE STRENGTH LEARNING: Seeing , saying , hearing, writing!!!Review:
an ongoing process.Day One
After you have read and recited the entire chapter,
write questions in the margins for those points you have highlighted or underlined.If you took notes while reciting,
write questions for the notes you have taken in the left hand margins of your notebook.Day Two
Page through the text and/or your notebook to re-acquaint yourself with the important points.
Cover the right hand column of your text/note-book and orally ask yourself the questions in the left hand margins.
Orally recite or write the answers from memory.
Make "flash cards" for those questions which give you difficulty.
Develop mnemonic devices for material which need to be memorized.
Days Three, Four and Five
Alternate between your flash cards and notes and test yourself (orally or in writing) on the questions you formulated.
Make additional flash cards if necessary.
Weekend
Using the text and notebook, make a Table of Contents - list all the topics and sub-topics you need to know from the chapter.
From the Table of Contents, make a Study Sheet/ Spatial Map.
Recite the information orally and in your own words as you put the Study Sheet/Map together.Now that you have consolidated all the information you need for that chapter, periodically review the Sheet/Map so that at test time you will not have to cram.
