  1. Unit 2 Seminar “He who tells the stories rules the world.” —Hopi proverb. Prof. Brian Koster KU120

  2. The Reading Process • Comprehension is an understanding of what has been read. • The most important aspect of being an effective reader is being an active reader. • Active reading means that you ask questions, find answers, and react to the author’s ideas.

  3. Prior Knowledge • Prior knowledge is the large body of information that is learned throughout a lifetime of experience. • The more prior knowledge you have about a topic, the more likely you are to understand that topic. • This is why effective readers build their knowledge base by reading often!

  4. The Reading Process • Effective readers break reading into a three-step process: • Before reading, look over or preview the material. Ask questions about the material you are about to read. • During reading, test your understanding of the material. • After reading, review and react to what you have learned.

  5. SQ3R Reading Process • Survey • Question • Read • Recite • Review

  6. SQ3R Before Reading • Survey or skim the reading passage for organization and what it is going to talk about. Look at the following: • Italics • Boldface type • Titles, introductions, headings • Pictures and graphs • First paragraph, summaries, questions

  7. SQ3R Before Reading • Ask Questions before you read. • What is the passage about? • How is the material organized? • What do I already know? What is my prior knowledge? • What is my purpose for reading? • What is my reading plan? • What are the most important parts to remember?

  8. SQ3R During Reading • Read. Continue to ask questions. • Does the information agree with what I already knew? • Do I need to change what I thought I knew? • What is the significance of this information? • Do I need to remember this?

  9. SQ3R During Reading • Read. Continue to ask questions. • Form questions from headings, subheadings, words in bold print and italics. • Reread parts you don’t understand • Reread when your mind drifts during reading. • Read ahead to see if the idea becomes clearer. • Determine the meaning of words from context. • Look up new or difficult words. • Think about ideas even when they differ from your own.

  10. SQ3R During Reading • Recite. • Make sure you understand by repeating the information. • Create a picture in your mind or on paper. • Restate the ideas in your own words. • Write out answers to the questions you created based on the headings and subheadings.

  11. SQ3R After Reading • Review. • Go back over the material to review it. • Summarize the most important parts. • Revisit the answers to your questions. • Review new words and their meanings. • Think and write about what you have read.

  12. SQ3R After Reading • Review. • Connect new information to your prior knowledge about the topic. • Form opinions about the material and the author. • Notice changes in your opinions based on the new information. • Write about what you have read.
