🔍 Structured Approach
The SQ3R method (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) gives a systematic approach that aligns reading sessions for both efficiency and focus.
❓ Active Engagement
Asking questions before and while reading, keeps your mind actively engaged and thus, spaced reading won't take place.
🧠 Enhanced Retention
Recitation coupled with reviewing leads to the transfer of information into long-term memory thus reading time is fully maximized.
📌 Focus on Key Ideas
Through the investigation of headings, subheadings, and summaries the attention is drawn to the important concepts rather than the details losing their significance.
💡 Identify & Clarify Gaps
Reciting and questioning bring to light the areas that cause misunderstanding and hence targeted review can be done for the sake of better understanding.
✅ Efficient Learning
Making use of SQ3R transforms the reading process into an active, goal-directed study session which means time wastage is reduced and knowledge retention is increased.
