Preview study-read review

Benefits to questioning to yourself during reading: you established purpose for reading, which gets your brain ready to learn; you make a mental framework that holds in information in an organized way; you give yourself the opportunity to react to what you read and not just accept what an author is saying; you read more closely because you are looking for your answers to your questions.
Steps for previewing reading – 1 skim the reading (skim the amount you plan to read in one episode of reading); 2 develop questions (6 questions to the title: who what when where how why); 3 predict content.
Study-reading – asking and answering the questions you developed in the preview stage, and relating with information you already know.
Steps for study-reading – read and ask questions (start reading at the first heading and ask questions); understand sections (read one complete part at a time); monitor your reading (1 what do I understand 2 where did I lose concentration 3 what questions do I still have); determine main idea.
Review stage – ask yourself questions in order to understand what you have read in relations of what you already know about subject.
Steps for reviewing – assess your understanding of entire reading assignment (summarize what you have read, attach new information to old, comprehension check); clarify confusion parts.
PSR should help me to understand material on my own or alert me to the fact that I need to ask and what should I ask, also it helps to remember text more quickly.
