The SQ3R method is a reading strategy with 5 steps: Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. The Survey step involves previewing the chapter to get an overview before reading. In the Question step, readers turn headings into questions to guide their reading. Readers should actively read the text while highlighting and taking notes. The Recite step involves putting the information in your own words by summarizing or creating flashcards. The Review step has readers look over their notes and highlighted sections.
