Effective Reading: SQ4R - VIDEO
What is SQ4R?
It's a strategy to help you control how much information you remember after readind non-fiction information.
Effective reading of non-fiction text is very different than reading for enjoyment. 3SQR can help you understand the difference.
Reading for information requires more effort and more thinking skills. This is why many students believe they have difficulty reading non-fiction information.
Just because you may THINK you do not read well, doesn't mean this is true.
Most students who believe they do not read well, just haven't learned strategies for deeper thinking while reading. Either that, or they have not effectively applied the skills they have been taught.
The majority of all students have to capacity to improve their current reading abilities. It just takes time to develop the mental muscles to make reading effective.
