SQ3R Explained
- SQ3R comprises five steps: Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review
Survey Phase
- Quickly scan the entire text before detailed reading
- Look at headings, subheadings, images, and other overview features
- The initial survey provides a sense of the text’s structure and main ideas
- For history textbooks, focus on chapter titles, subtitles, and illustration captions to understand historical context
Question Phase
- Involves asking questions based on the survey, not answering existing questions from the passage
- Generate questions based on what you discovered during the survey
- These questions guide reading and help focus on critical information
- For example, surveying a scientific paper might lead to questions like, "What is the primary hypothesis being tested?"
Read Phase

- The two main goals that must be achieved during this phase are:
- Reading to answer the questions you have generated
- Reading to engage with the material to gain a fuller understanding
Recite Phase
- Verbally explain key points, words, and concepts from the text
- Identify highlighted points to form the main idea of the excerpt
Review Phase
- Create summaries, outlines, or notes to reinforce understanding
Importance of Review
- Creating organized notes or summaries aids in review
- Aims to maintain deep understanding that you can recall and apply when needed
- For example, in exams or discussions related to the Renaissance period
