Five Step SQ3R method is a reading
comprehension technique that helps
Strategy to students identify important facts and
retain information within their
Study (SQ3R) textbook. SQ3R (or SQRRR) is an
acronym that stands for the five steps
of the reading comprehension process.
Try these steps for a more efficient and
effective study session:
 Survey
 Questions
 Reading
 Recite
 Review
Cont..
• Survey: Instead of reading the entire book, start by skimming the first chapter
and taking notes on any headings, subheadings, images, or other standout
features like charts.
• Question: Formulate questions around the chapter’s content, such as, What is
this chapter about? What do I already know about this subject?
• Read: Begin reading the full chapter and look for answers to the questions
you formulated.
• Recite: After reading a section, summarize in your own words what you just
read. Try recalling and identifying major points and answering any questions
from the second step.
• Review: Once you have finished the chapter, it’s important to review the
material to fully understand it. Quiz yourself on the questions you created and
re-read any portions you need to.
The PQ4R Method

approach to learning that
improves memorization and
understanding of the topic.

PQ4R is an acronym that stands
for the six steps in the process.

The Feynman Technique
 The Feynman Technique is an efficient method of learning a concept
quickly by explaining it in plain and simple terms. It’s based on the idea, “If
you want to understand something well, try to explain it simply.” What that
means is, by attempting to explain a concept in our own words, we are
likely to understand it a lot faster.
 Write the subject/concept at the top of the sheet.
 Then, explain it in your own words as if you were teaching someone else.
 Review what you wrote and identify any areas where you were wrong.
Once you have identified them, go back to your notes or reading material
and figure out the correct answer.
 Lastly, if there are any areas in your writing where you used technical
terms or complex language, go back and rewrite these sections in simpler
terms for someone who doesn’t have the educational background you
have.
Color Coded Notes
 Messy notes can make it hard to recall the important points
of a lecture. Writing in color is a dynamic way to organize
the information you’re learning. It also helps you review and
prioritize the most important ideas (Chai, et al. 2017).
 Write down key points in red.
 Highlight important information in yellow.
 Organize topics by color.
 Don’t color everything—just the most important
information.
Some Other Strategies

 Some of the other techniques used to recall, retain and

retrieve information are
 Study before bed
 Using Flash Cards
 Using Peg Words
Importance of Study Skills
