Writing,
Reading, Listening & Speaking:
A Strategy for Reading Textbooks
SQRW
is a four-step strategy for reading and taking notes
from chapters in a textbook. Each letter stands for one
step in the strategy. Using SQRW will help you to
understand what you read and to prepare a written record
of what you learned. The written record will be valuable
when you have to participate in a class discussion and
again when you study for a test. Read to learn what to
do for each step in SQRW.
Survey.
Surveying brings to mind what you already know about the
topic of a chapter and prepares you for learning more.
To survey a chapter, read the title, introduction,
headings, and the summary or conclusion. Also, examine
all visuals such as pictures, tables, maps, and/or
graphs and read the caption that goes with each. By
surveying a chapter, you will quickly learn what the
chapter is about.
Question.
You need to have questions in your mind as you read.
Questions give you a purpose for reading and help you
stay focused on the reading assignment. Form questions
by changing each chapter heading into a question. Use
the words who, what, when, where, why, or how
to form questions. For example, for the heading
"Uses of Electricity" in a chapter about how science
improves lives, you might form the question "What are
some uses of electricity?" If a heading is stated as a
question, use that question. When a heading contains
more than one idea, form a question for each idea. Do
not form questions for the Introduction, Summary, or
Conclusion.
Read.
Read the information that follows each heading to find
the answer to each question you formed. As you do this,
you may decide you need to change a question or turn it
into several questions to be answered. Stay focused and
flexible so you can gather as much information as you
need to answer each question.
Write.
Write each question and its answer in your notebook.
Reread each of your written answers to be sure each
answer is legible and contains all the important
information needed to answer the question.
As
you practice using SQRW, you will find you learn more
and have good study notes to use to prepare for class
participation and tests.
HINT:
Once you complete the
Survey step for the entire chapter, complete the
Question, Read, and Write steps for the first heading.
Then complete the Question, Read, and Write steps for
the second heading, and so on for the remaining headings
in the chapter.
