PQ4R Reading Technique (Mnemonic)

This is a mnemonic device to remember the reading learning method of:

• Preview
• Question
• Four (4) R's - Read, Reflect, Recite, Review

Read with a purpose. If you are reading a chapter in your textbook, you should start by skimming the whole chapter for an overview. After this initial preview create some questions to concentrate on while you prepare to read in more depth. Then read the chapter.

After you've finished reading the chapter, move on to reflect, ie think about how the chapter has answered your previous questions. Proceed to recite the answers back to yourself, explaining the information in your own words.

Finally, go back through the book chapter again, skimming the text for the main points.
