Editor's Notes

  • #2 Some students report that they do not keep up with their reading assignments, while others read but do not retain the information.
  • #3 SQ3R is one of many strategies that help students:Identify the most important points quickly.Distinguish between main ideas and details.Situate information into memory.Comprehend information quickly.Review for exams efficiently.During this lecture think about how you can adapt this reading strategy to the reading assignments from various disciplines.
  • #4 S= Survey the textTitlePreface, introduction, purpose, thesis, approachTable of contents, topics, subtopics, organizationChapter highlights, summaries, study questions, appendicesSample a paragraph from your reading assignment to determine how much time you will need for the entire reading assignment. Consider the following:Your purpose for reading the material.Your level of interest in the material.Your concentration span.The reading level and rate at which facts are presented.
  • #5 WRITE these notes on paper, in sequence; then look over the notes to get an overall idea or picture.
  • #6 What information do you hope to gain from reading the material?What do you already know about this topic?What do you think the author might say?
