Textbook Reading

Do you ever feel like your mind wanders easily while you're reading and that it’s hard to focus on the material? Do you ever feel like you’ll never finish all of the reading that you have to do? Getting through your assigned readings and adequately understanding and remembering the material may be one of the most challenging tasks that you may face if you are working with the same reading skills you've had since high school. We can help you improve your reading skills so that you are reading more actively and effectively.

Using a reading strategy such as the SQ3R (survey, question, read, recite, review) can increase your chances of understanding, learning and retaining the information contained within your textbooks.

SQ3R survey, question, read, recite, and review

If you have questions, or would like more information on how this strategy can help you, please make an appointment.
