Chapter 1- (1)

Like most of us, you probably don't want to wait. Instead, you want more immediate results.

To be sure, future chapter will further discuss the strategies and tips generally described here.

If you are reading a novel for your own pleasure, it's fine to just open the book and start reading, making little or no effort to focus or distribute your attention selectively.

Predictions about how the author's thoughts will unfold.

It helps to decrease forgetting right after reading.

Since Robinson created SQ3R, other systems have come along, most of them quite similar and distinguished only by the acronym, or initials, used to create the name.

Instead, divide assignments into manageable chunks of fifteen to twenty pages at most. That way, you'll maintain your concentration the entire time it takes to complete that chunk of the assignment.

Try to predict how the flow the author's thought will develop.

Robinson's thought was that whenever students finished a chapter section, they should look away from the book and briefly recite answers to the questions they had posed initially. Recitation was a way of monitoring, or checking, comprehension so that students couldn't trick themselves into thinking they had understood a text they really needed to read a second time.
