SQ3R Speed Reading
Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. Those are the basic steps to this method.
Survey
Go over the title, headings, captions under pictures, charts or maps. Review questions teacher made during study guides. Read the introductory and concluding paragraphs and the summary.
Question
Try to turn everything into a question. It is specially important to turn titles into questions, and after every chapter. If you write your questions down, you will be using a modified version of this method called SQW3R.
Read
Remember to look for answers to the questions you asked at first. Find the meaning of each paragraph or chapter. Reread any additional material like words under pictures or graphs. Slow down your reading pace on hard chapters.
Recite
Ask yourself and answer out loud; What was this about?
Summarize the material you just read. It is important to do this right after having read the material.
Review
For material that needs to be properly learned, remember to go over it all once a day for 7 days. Use notes, flashcards, reread underlined and bolded material. Ask yourself questions, and summarize everything over again.
