It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills. In college, you’ll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for several different courses at the same time. SQ3R helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time most efficiently. Here’s how the strategy works.

Survey

Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

Ø  Read the title, headings and subheadings.

Ø  Notice words that are italicized or bold.

Ø  Look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps, and other visual material.

Ø  Read captions.

Ø  Read every beginning and end of the chapter.

TIP 5: KEEP A LIST OF QUESTIONS

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember teachers create assignments; they’ve read texts and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to the others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerse you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book … and a pen.

This rule rule is even more important in life that basketball. You have to apply yourself to the task of becoming al little better each and every day. Over a period of time you will become a lot better. Only then is when you can be the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you could never make up from a lost day.

Tip 3: Do Research

Literary cities have written vast numbers of analytic and critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold.

Tip 4: Use a dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you are reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you’ll built your vocabulary at the same time.

Reading and writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a text, the more likely you are to successfully communicate your thoughts about writing. So it’s important to develop strong skill in both areas.  With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.

Tips 1-2

Tip 1: annotate

Be an active reader instead of passively reading A text, take notes about important story elements, key factual; information and significant ideas in text.

Tip 2: note the author’s writing style

Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading, look for patterns in the author’s writing. For example, you may notice a repetition of key words, phrases or symbols—or the use of a distinct type of sentence structures. Author’s employ these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes its hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1.       Focus On High-Impact Activities

The key to success in school is staying focused one your course work.

Make a list to get an overall picture of you workload before you start to tackle any of it.

Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.

To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all the homework assignments are important, studying for a mid-term exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

2.       Create New Challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to the one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.

Take Advantage of any free time

If you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start you=r homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember everything. Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of your flash cards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can even have separated ring stacks for every subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER, PUT IT ONTO A CARD.

Study with a friend

Get together with friends and class mates to quiz each other, compare notes, and predict tests. Consider joining a study group.

If you have concerns about the amount or type of homework you have, you want to talk to your family, teachers or counselor. They can help you understand how much time you need  to allot for home work and how to manage your tasks.

Celebrate your achievements

Reward yourself for hitting milestones or doing something well.

Keep Things in Perspective

Know how much weight each assignment or test carries, and use your time accordingly .Don’t waste time accordingly. Don’t waste time, but be wise and smart. Doing the most important things first is being wise and smart.

Get More Involved

Keep your mind from wandering by taking notes, underlining sections, discussing topics with others or relating your homework to something you’re studying in another class. Learn actively and not passively. Be anxiously engaged in your studies and you will have a great experience. Demonstrate a good attitude toward home assignments; you will begin to love doing it.

Organize the Information

People process information in different ways. Some people like to draw pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or make detailed outlines. Try to find the methods that work best for you. Ask your teacher for recommendations if you’re having trouble.

·         Prepare for your classes

·         Get a sense of progress

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently ad effectively.

Know Where To Begin:

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all the deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end.

Study At The Same Time Every Day

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.

For Review

Once you’ve done all of the above, you’ll find you’ve created your own personalized study guide. Cover the main section of the page and use the key words and questions in the left of the margin as a quiz.

Stick to It

Review your notes the day, you take them and all your notes once a week. That way, you won’t need to study as much when it’s a test time.

You’ve been doing the work all along.

Try out the Cornell system, but if it doesn’t work for you, experiment with other methods. Ask your classmate how they take notes or ask the teacher for advice. Taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you’ll be taking notes in college.

After Class

As soon as class end, review your notes and fill inn any blanks. Underline, highlight and use symbols to sort through information. If you don’t understand something, get help from your teacher or classmates.

After you’ve reviewed all your notes in class, in the left hand area of the page write down key words and questions your teacher might ask on a test.

At the bottom of each page, write a summary of the notes. This helps you digest what you’ve learned. It also improves your memory of the material for the long term and for tests down the road.

One approach that has been proven to effective is called the Cornell Note Taking System. Here are some of its methods. Start by using the main section of your page to take down your notes during class. Be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and the bottom. Things to keep in mind:

1.  Get the speaker’s main points. Don’t write down every word you hear.

2.  Leave blanks in your notes to add explanations later.

3.   Organize as you write. Pay attention to cures such as repetition and emphasis.

4.   Indicate main and supporting points as you go.

5.   Jot down key vocabulary, important facts and formulas.
