through the text material and read the
overview and/or summary.
• Question stage requires students to write a
list of questions to answer while reading.
• Read stage, students are led to look for the
organization of the material, put brackets
around the main ideas, underline supporting
details, and answer the questions written in
the previous step.

13. • Recite requires them to test themeselves while
reading and put the content into their own
words.
• Review suggests that the students look over the
material immediately after reading it, the next
day, a week later, and so on (Robinson, 1946).
• Direct student reading with objectives or
questions, and provide a worksheet if one is not
included with the materials.
• Emphasize the use of visuals in text materials and
teach students to study visuals in an effort to
increase their comprehension of the content.
