SQ3R reading method
The images that form in your mind as you read --make a text more memorable as visualizing content as you read boosts comprehension and retention.
research showing that students who are taught to develop mental imagery of text do better than control groups on tests of comprehension and recall.
The research basis for the usefulness of transforming text into mental images can be found in Allan Paivio's dual coding theory,
which holds that cognition consists of both a verbal system for language and a nonverbal, visual-spatial one for images. By creating mental images from the words on a page or screen, we tap into both the verbal and visual-spatial representational systems, making abstract concepts more concrete and thus more meaningful and memorable.

● I am happy to know my current reading speed. ● I am not afraid to do the hard work that is required when reading
academic texts. ● I am pretty sure that with a little more practice I can get better at reading
faster and improving my memory. ● It's still all pretty new to me, but I am willing to try my best. ● I think discussions with classmates will improve my reading of academic
texts. ● I like the mental marker method. It seems to be helping me remember
better. ● I find the reciting stage the hardest as it means to structure my thoughts,
notes and answers to the questions. ● The reviewing stage seems to be the hardest as I have to rely on my
● memory to remember the questions, answers and content. ● I hope we do more reading sessions like this one today. ● I feel confused and will need to talk to the instructor to clarify my
thoughts/ questions. ● I think I might be using the annotation tool Hypothes.is more often.
