The Steps of SQ3R Method

The Steps of SQ3R Method

 

• Surveying 

           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.

• Questioning 

           The students return to the first section of the text they are to read and 
           formulate a question. This sets the purpose for reading.

• Reading 

           The students are to read the first section in an attempt to answer their 
           proposed question. If the answer to their question is not answered, 
           they formulate a new one and answer it.

• Reciting 

           The students answer their question in their own words, either orally or 
           written without looking back at the text for help.

• Continue steps 1–4 for each section of the text until the assigned reading is complete.

• Reviewing 

           The students review the material by again answering the questions 
           they formulated without the aid of the text.
