7. SQ3R
Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review (SQ3R.)
This reading strategy is primarily intended for
studying information that does not necessarily confuse
the individual, but rather is just unfamiliar to the
individual.
8. SQ3R
First, the individual should just quickly survey the
chapter for titles, headings, subheadings, review
questions, captions, chapter or section summaries, and
any other easily identifiable indications of the key
points that the chapter is attempting to convey. Next,
the individual should take each of these items and
turn them into questions that the individual can
answer while he or she is reading the chapter. Once the
individual has identified all of the questions that he or
she should answer while reading the chapter, the
individual should then read the chapter and try to find
the answers to each of the questions.
9. SQ3R
Each time that the individual completes a paragraph
or section of the chapter, that individual should stop,
recite any questions that the individual believes he or
she can answer and then recite the answers to those
questions. Finally, once the individual has read the
entire chapter and answered all of the questions, he or
she should go back and write down each question right
next to its corresponding answer.

usually used for taking notes from textbooks.
