2. Question
Generate questions about the content of the reading. For example, convert headings and sub-headings into questions, and then look for answers in the content of the text. Other more general questions may also be formulated:
What is this chapter about?
What question is this chapter trying to answer?
How does this information help me?
The Question step again only takes 3-5 minutes to complete, but it will motivate the reader to seek answers to the questions.
3. Read (R1)
Use the background work done with "S" and "Q" in order to begin reading actively. This means reading in order to answer the questions raised under "Q". Passive reading, in contrast, results in merely reading without engaging with the study material.
4. Recite (R2)
The second "R" refers to the part known as "Recite." The reader should try to retrieve from memory what was learned in the same manner as telling someone else about the information. It is important that the reader use his/her own words in order to formulate and conceptualize the material. Try recalling and identifying major points (heading/subheadings) and answers to questions from the "Q" step. The Recite step may be done either in an oral or written format and is related to the benefits of retrieval in boosting long-term memory for the material.
5. Review (R3)
The final "R" is "Review." In fact, before becoming acquainted with this method a student
probably just uses the R & R method; Read and Review. Provided the student has followed all recommendations, the student should have a study sheet and should test himself or herself by attempting to recall the key phrases. This method instructs the diligent student to immediately review all sections pertaining to any key words forgotten.
Importance of SQ3R for Students
1. SQ3R as a strategy improves students‟ reading comprehension and proficiency
2. This strategy collect and assimilate information and they need not to read the whole chapter and remember every bit of it.
3. It helps students to retain several reading pages, which otherwise are very stressful for them.
