The SQ3R study strategy involves 5 steps: Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review. Survey involves previewing the material to understand the big picture and key points. Question involves turning headings into questions to focus reading and create interest. Read actively by looking for answers to questions and engaging with the text. Recite puts the material in your own words to retain information and check understanding. Review checks over notes and re-reads highlights to reinforce learning. Using SQ3R helps gain information from texts effectively and prepare for related assessments.
