Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review |

Definition
Survey: quick read of new unit; reading all chapter headings, subheadings, marginal notes, bolded words, pictures, captions, charts and diagrams.
Question: based on survey, write several questions to alert students to key info. Teachers should model.
Read: Read the chapter and answer, your questions
Recite: after answering all your questions, quiz yourself (students).
Questions that were difficult should be practiced by a re-read. Continue until all questions can be answered from memory.
Review: once info is learned from memory, it should be reviewed daily until it becomes permanent. Good rule of thumb: 20 min. per day
Estimates suggests that a min. of 10 hours of teacher led instruction are req. for low achieving students to learn the strategy effectively. |
