SQ3R: A Great Reading and Studying Technique

http://www.colegeboard.com/student/plan/college-success/26666.html

Improve your Study Skills
SQ3R stands for:

Survey
Question
Read
Recite
Review
It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills.
In college, you’ll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll often have to
complete reading assignments in several different books for several
different courses at the same time.
SQ3R helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that
you use your time most efficiently. Here’s how this strategy works.

SURVEY

Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what
the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

·       Read the title, headings and subheadings.

·       Notice words that are italicized or bold.

·       Look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material.

·       Read captions.

·       Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.

Tip 5

Tips 5: Keep a list of questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down
any questions you have. Sometime your questions are answered as
you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember,
teachers create assignment; they’ve read the text and are familiar
with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can
provide answers that will help you better understand the material.
Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learning.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to others, is a great
learning method. When you cease to ask questions you cease to exist
to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you
read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and
therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost
anything else.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said, ”Knowledge is power.”
Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining
important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick
up a book … and a pen.

5 Tips for success

http://www.collegeboard.com/student/plan/boost-your-skill/189995.html

Reading and writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a
text, the more likely you are to successfully communicate your
thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong
skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your
reading comprehension.

Tips 1-2

Tip 1: Annotate

Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes
about important story elements, key factual information and
significant ideas in the text.

Tips 2: note the Author’s Writing Style
every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to
successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re
reading, look for patterns in the author’s writing. For example, you
may notice a repetition of key words, phrases or symbols --- or the
use of distinct type of sentence structure. Authors employ these
writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or
theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

3. Set Attainable Goals

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it
seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break
the paper down and consider each section of your paper
individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.

4. Find a Social Support Network
create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed.
Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you
guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you
with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can
also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening
and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task.
Take a walk, send an email. Get a snack. Then move on to the next
project.

to succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all
times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you
really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay
on the right track.

1.      Focus on High-Impact Activities

The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work.
Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you
start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to
do the simplest assignment first, those that take more time and
effort to accomplish are the ones that you’ll learn the most
from.
to determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the
order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote
more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your
course work and grades. For example even though all homework
assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes
priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete
each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

2. Create new challenges
changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re
doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done
in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay
for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time. For
book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.

Take Advantage of any free time

If you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time to review
notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash cards
are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a
marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything.
Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and
connect the stack of your flash cards with a ring. Then the
card is bound and not flopping around. Flash cards bound like this act
like a small book with pages. You can even have separate ringed stacks
for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER PUT
IT ON A CARD.

Study with a friend
get together with friends and classmates to quiz
each other, compare notes and predict test
questions. Consider joining a study group.

Communicate
if you have concern about the amount or type of homework you have,
you may want to talk to your family, teachers or counselor. They can
help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and
how to manage your tasks.

Celebrate your achievements

Reward yourself for hitting milestones or doing something well.

Keep Things in Perspective
know how much weight each assignment or test carries, and use your
time accordingly. Don’t waste time, but be wise and smart. Doing the
most important things first is being wise and smart.

Get More Involved
keep your mind from wandering by taking notes, underlining sections,
discussing topics with other class. Learn actively and not passively. Be
anxiously engaged in your attitude toward home assignments, and you will
begin to love doing it.

Organize the information
people process information in different ways. Some people like to draw
pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or
make detailed outlines. Try to find the method that work best for you.
Ask your teacher for recommendations if you’ve having trouble.

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a
purpose. Homework helps you:

·         Reinforce what you've learned during the day.

·         Build study habits that are essential in college.

·         Prepare for your classes.

·         Get a sense of progress.

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently
and effectively.

Set the mood

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try you school
or local library.

 Know where to begin

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do
the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at
the end.

Study at the same time every day

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review                       notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll
approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time
productively.

After class

As soon as class ends, review your notes and fill in any blanks.
Underline, highlight and use symbols to sort through the information. If
you don’t understand something, get help from your teacher or
classmates.

After you’ve reviewed all your notes from class, in the left-hand area of
the page write down key words and questions your teacher might ask on
a test.

At the bottom of each page, write a summary of the notes. This helps you
digest what you’ve learned. It also improves your memory of the material
for the long term and for tests down the road.

Start by using the main section of your page to take down your notes
during class. Be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and
the bottom. Thing to keep in mind:

·        Leave blanks in your notes to add explanation later.

·        Organize as you write. Pay attention to cues such as repetition
and emphasis.

·        Indicate main and supporting points as you go.

·        Jot down key vocabulary, important facts and formulas.

·        Ask questions. If you’re confused, it’s better to ask while the
material is fresh in your mind.

Emphasis on the Written Word

Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in distance -
learning classes are written. That’s a plus, because the focus on the
written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer---and
strong writing skills are essential to academic success. However, if
writing is a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the
best educational option until you improve your skills. Yes, most of
distance education is the written word; therefore, you need to be a
good reader, love writing also. Most of your
assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the
written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling
great, sentence structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary.
Internet communications at home isn’t working; you can’t do online
education from home and will need to go to someplace where you do
have access to the Internet.

Decide whether it’s Right for you
distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you.
You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until
you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While
distance education may be the perfect alternative for some students,
it’s not the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your
unique needs and interest and give distance education a try; then,
decide if it is right for you.

Challenging aspects of distance education

·        Lack of in-person interaction: Some educators argue that both
teacher-student and student-student contact are essential to learning.
In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in
class discussions online in chat rooms, message boards or web
conference---but it’s not the same as being with other students in a classroom.

·        Different levels of quality: Many distance-education programs
supply an excellent learning experience, but other may not.
Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s rigorous
accreditation before enrolling.

·        The need to self-start: Distance education lets you make your own
schedule. If you have a hard time getting motivated, this might not
be the ideal educational setting for you.

managing your time efficiently.

·        A flexible schedule: schools can only provide a certain number of
class periods in a single school day, and there may not be enough
time for you to take everything you want. Because distance
education lets you take classes outside regular school hours, it gives
you the flexibility to explore all your areas of interest.

·        Advanced and specialized classes: some schools can’t provide
advanced or specialized classes: distance education gives you the
chance to gain experience in areas that world otherwise remain out

You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer.
Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class---
through distance learning.
Distance education means taking a class without being physically
present where it is being taught. Internet-based technology lets
students participate in lectures and class sessions online from almost
anywhere.
Some high school agrees to recognize distance-learning credits when
they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves. Distance
education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for
AP courses.
For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or
participating in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other
high-school students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s

Additional tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight.

·        Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours
immediately.

·        Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules
as far ahead of time as possible.

·        Use your time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting in a
line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a
lot of downtime and your boss has no objection, you can use slow
periods to do schoolwork.

·        If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your
schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

·        Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut
down on some other thing you’d like to do because of your
school and work commitments.

·        If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut  back as
needed.

·        Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime  to stay
happy and healthy.
