The SQ3R Method: A Time-Tested Reading Strategy

The SQ3R method is a powerful framework for deep reading.

First, Survey the material by skimming headings and summaries.

Next, turn headings into Questions you want answered.

Then Read actively, seeking answers to your questions.

After each section, Recite the main points in your own words without looking at the text.

Finally, Review the entire chapter, testing your recall.

This systematic approach ensures you truly understand and remember what you read, making it perfect for non-fiction and educational materials.
