Survey :
Look over material critically. Skim through the book and read topical and sub topical heading and sentences. Read the summaries at the end of chapters and books. Try to anticipate what the author is going to say.
WRITE these notes on paper , in squence ; then look over the jottings to get an overall idea or picture. This will enable you to see where you are going.
Questions :
Instead of reading paragraph headings such as "Basic concepts of reading?" , "read it as", "what are the basic concepts of reading?" these questions will become "hooks" on which to hang the reading meterial.
WRITE these questions down ; look over the questions to see the emphasis and direction; then attempt to give plausible answer before further reading
READ :
Read with smoothness and alertness to answer the quesrions. use all the techiques and principles demonstrated in class.
WRITE notes, in your own words , under each question . Take minimum number of notes-use these notes as a skeleton.
RECALL :
Without looking at your book or notes , mentally visualize and sketch, in your own words, the high points of the material immediately upon completing the reading.
A. This forces you to check understanding.
B. This channels the meterial into a natural and usable form.
C. This points up what you do not understand.
D. This forces you think.
REVIEW :
Look at your questions, answers , notes and book to see how well you did recall. Observe carefully the points stated inmcorectly or omitted. Fix carefully in mind the logical sequence o the entire idea , concepts or problem finish up with a mental picture of the WHOLE.
Note : more time should be spent on recall than on reading.
