SQ3 helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time most efficiently. Here’s how this strategy works.

Survey

Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:
. read the tittle, heading and subheading.

. notice words that are italicized or bold

. look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material.

Read captions

. read the very beginning and end of the chapter.

Tip 5: keep a list of questions 
when you feel confused about something you're reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not don't be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they've read the text and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in a question developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and do others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher sir Francis bacon said, “knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book … and a pen.

Tip 3: do research

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytically and critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold

Tip 4: use a dictionary

Make sure you access to a dictionary than you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but something you can’t. rather than simply skipping  over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase  greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary  at the same time.

5 tips for success

reading and writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a text, the more likely you are to successfully communicate your thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.

Tips 1-2

TIP 1: ANNOTATE

Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.

TIP 2: NOTE THE AUTHOR’S WRITING STYLE

Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading, look for patters in the author’s writing. For example, you may notice a repetition of key words, phrases or symbols—or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure. Authors employ these writhing strategies to help readers comprehend  a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

3. Set attainable goals

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can  handle any project in small chunks.

4. Find a social support network

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you  guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselor can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge your accomplishment

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email,  get a snack. Then move on to the next project.

5 tips for staying motivated

Tips 1-2

http://www.collegeboard.com/student/plan/boost-your-skills/8454.html

to succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But something it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1. focus on high-impact activities

The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle  any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to  do the simples assignment frost, those that take more time and effort to accomplishment are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from. To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignment in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time ad devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your courses work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignment are impact, studying  for a midterm exam takes priority over writhing a paragraph for English class. As your complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

2. create new challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. if you've been given  an assignment similar to one you've done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for creative writhing  assignment last year, try a poem this time. For  book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.

although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

. Reinforce what you've learned during the day.

. Build study habits that are essential in college.

. Prepare for your classes.

. Get a sense of progress.

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively.

Set the mood

Create a good study area with everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignment first, so you don’t have to face them at the end.

Study at the same time every day

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dream. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.

For review

Once you’ve done all of the above, you’ll find you’ve created your own personalized study guide. Cover the main section of the page and use the key words and question in the margin as a quiz.

Stick to it

Review tour notes the day you take them and all your notes once a week. That way, you way, you won’t need to study as much when it’s test time. You’ve been doing the work all along  try  out the Cornell system, but if it doesn’t work for you, experiment with other methods. Ask your classmates how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you’ll be to take notes in college.

After class

As soon as class ends, review your notes and  fill in any blanks. Underlines highlight and use symbols to sort through the information. If you don’t understand something, get help from your teacher or classmates.

After you’ve reviewed all your all your notes from class, in the left-hand area of the page write down key words and question your teacher might ask on a test.

At the bottom of each page, write a summary of the notes. This helps you digest what you’ve learned. It also improves your memory of the material for the long term and for tests down the road.

One approach that has been proven effective is called the Cornell note-talking system. Here are some of its methods. Start by using the main section of your  page to take  down your notes during class. Be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and  the bottom. Things to keep in mind:

1. get the speaker’s main points. Don’t write down every word you hear.

2. leave blanks in your notes to add explanations later.

3. organize as you write. Pay attention to cues such as repetition and emphasis.

4. indicate main and supporting points as you go.

5. jot down key vocabulary, important facts and formulas.

6. ask question. If you’re confused, it’s better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.

Emphasis on the written word

Most of the communication, as well as the courses work, in distance-learning classes is written. That’s a plus, because the focus on the written word gives you the  opportunity to develop as a writer—and strong  writing skills are essential to academic  success. However, if writing is a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best educational option until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is the written word; therefore, you need to a be a god reader, love to read, and  love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format. Your penmanship needs  to be  excellent, spelling great, sentence structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online access with reliable equipment. If your internet communications at home isn’t working, you can’t do online education from home and will need to go to someplace where you do have access to the internet.

Decide whether it’s right for you

Distance  education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you. You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance education  may be  the perfect alternative for some students, it’s not the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider you unique needs interests and give distance education a try; then, decide if it is right for you.

. LACK OF IN-PERSON INTERACTION: SOME EDUCATORS ARGUE THAT BOTH TEACHER-STUDENT AND STUDENT-STUDENT CONTACT ARE ESSENTIAL TO LEARNING. IN A DISTANCE-LEARNING CLASSROOM, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS DISCUSSION ONLINE IN CHAT ROOMS, MESSAGE BOARDS OF WEB CONFERENCES—BUT IT’S NOT THE SAME AS BEING WITH OTHER STUDENTS IN A CLASSROOM.

. DIFFERENT LEVELS OF QUALITY: MANY DISTANCE-EDUCATION PROGRAMS SUPPLY AN EXCELLENT LEARNING EXPERIENCE, BUT OTHERS MAY NOT.RESEARCH  ANY PROGRAM BEFORE SIGNING  ON TO MAKE SURE IT’S RIGOROUS ENOUGH. IF YOU ARE  CHOOSING  YOUR OWN PROGRAM, LOOK INTO ITS ACCREDITATION BEFORE ENROLLING.
