Transcripts
Hello. I'm Dr. Monie Hayes, and this is a follow up minilesson for Kirkwood's
high school English completion program. Today we're going to talk about a
particular set of reading strategies. It goes by many names PQ four-R is what I
customarily use. Sometimes it's PQ three-R. Sometimes it's S, Q, and so many R's.
It can work for literature, it can work for a nonfiction trade book, and it works
really well for textbooks. So the first step is preview, and some people call it
survey-take a look at that table of contents, take a look at the back of the
book, depending on the type of book you're preparing to read, and look at how
it's organized. What is it about? That segues into the next one, question. Some
people take question and reflect and put them together. Question: Where is this
going? That's part of preview. What do I already know about this? Do I have any
background to help me along this path? Do I have any opinions that can be part of
reflection? Does this echo anything my instructor has said in class? Okay, then
we get from the Q and the the possible fourth R of reflection we get into
reading. Read. But don't read, you know, all of it through-stop periodically to
recite, to recapitulate in your head what you have read to summarize. That's a good
way to know when you might want to go back and take a closer look,
but recap as you go and then at the end of say a chapter review-so think of
recitation or recap as more local and review as more global-go back over flip
through, look at any headings, and get an outline in your mind of what you have
just interacted with textually and what it means to you.
