the SQ3R method
The SQ3R method is a structured approach to understanding and remembering reading material. It stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review. First, you survey the material to get an overview. Then, you ask questions about what you want to learn. Next, you read carefully to find answers. Afterward, you recite or summarize what you've learned in your own words. Finally, you review the material regularly to reinforce your understanding. This process helps improve focus, comprehension, and retention of information.
