    Benefits of Using SQ4R Method

    Uploaded by

    Joshua Lander Soquita Cadayona
    The SQ4R method is a 6-step process for reading textbooks effectively: Survey, Question, Read, Respond, Record, and Review. It prompts active engagement with the material by having students turn section headings into questions and answer them without looking at the text. This helps retain information. Key benefits are that it provides a structured reading strategy, helps commit details to memory so less needs to be relearned, and supports identifying areas of confusion.

    BENEFITS OF USING SQ4R METHOD

    What is SQ4R?

     SQ4R is a method of reading and studying textbooks. It’s an acronym for:


    Survey, Question, Read, Respond, Record, and Review.
     When using this method, complete all the steps initially, then choose which are
    most effective for you and your courses.
     The SQ4R method may seem time consuming at first, but it's an effective method
    for reading, understanding, and remembering information from your textbooks.

    What are the benefits of using SQ4R?

     It’s an active learning strategy that can be adapted to suit an individual’s study
    preferences.
     It provides a strategy to retain a lot of factual detail, reducing the amount of
    information that has to be relearned for exams.
     It prompts the creation of study material to be used when preparing for exams.
     It helps to identify errors or areas of confusion.

    Step 1: Survey the textbook and chapters

     Read the preface and introduction to the text, and browse through the table of
    contents and the index.  This will describe the main topics and the basic
    organizational structure of the book.
     Read the introduction and conclusion in each chapter and subsection.
     Scan the titles and subtitles. Study the pictures, charts, or graphs.
     Read the summary and any chapter questions.

    Step 2: Start with a question

     Take the section title, subtitle, or the first sentence of each paragraph and turn it
    into a question.
     For example: “Functions of the spinal cord” becomes “What are the functions of
    the spinal cord?”

    Step 3: Read actively

     Read carefully and actively by creating a “dialogue” with the text.


     Try to find the answer to the question you created, and ask questions as you
    read.
     Be careful not to skim the text looking for the answer, as you might miss other
    important information.

    Step 4: Respond to your question

     Close the textbook and answer the question you created in your own words.
     If you can’t answer the question, reread the section until you can.
     If, after a few tries, you still can’t answer the question, go on to the next few
    sections and see if things become clearer.
     If that doesn’t help, you may need to change your question. Try making it broader
    or narrower.
     If changing your question doesn't help, get some assistance. Your instructor or
    TA are good places to start, or contact Learning Services.

    Step 5: Record Your notes

     Once you understand the material and can summarize it in your own words make
    a record of it.
     Common methods are highlighting and/or marking the text, or taking notes, or
    some combination of both.
     Whichever methods you choose, it's critical to read and understand the material
    first, and then go back and record.
     See below for the pros and cons of notetaking and highlighting.
     See our resources for help with note taking.

    Step 6: Review Your notes

     Do a thorough review of lecture and text notes weekly, and briefly before each
    class.
     Make weekly review periods effective by starting from the beginning of the
    course in each review session. Though the volume of review material increases
    as the semester progresses, the amount of time needed to review older material
    decreases. After you've reviewed the first week's material a few times, it will take
    only minutes to skim over it and recall the key points.
