Survey:

Look over the text. Think about the issues that the text will address.
This begins the process of developing a framework that helps to organize what you will learn. You need to have a framework in order to recall the information later.

Question:

Think of a question that interests you: this helps to boost your interest, focus and motivation. Developing interest is key to being motivate to recall what you have read.

Read

Read with a mission. Actively seek the information of importance. Read quickly rather than at a leisurely pace so that you do not bore yourself into inattention.

Recite and Reflect:

Stop and think. What have you read about? How does it connect to other materials you are reading or know about. Take a quick note or recite important points aloud. Connecting new information to old will vastly improve your recall of the new information.

Review:

Review your notes and text frequently but briefly. Short, frequent review sessions are a quick way to improve your recollection of new information. A quick way to build in review is to take your text to class and review the text and your previous notes in a few minutes as you wait for class to begin.
