🧩 What is PQ4R?
Developed by educational psychologists, PQ4R is a six‑step active reading strategy that dramatically improves comprehension and retention.
🎯 How to Use PQ4R
Preview: Scan headings, bold words, pictures. Question: Turn each heading into a question. Read: Look for answers to your questions. Reflect: Connect new info to what you already know. Recite: Close the book and summarise aloud. Review: Test yourself the next day.
💡 A Parent’s Implementation
“We spent 15 minutes previewing a chapter, 15 minutes reading, 5 minutes reciting. My son’s comprehension doubled. He now uses PQ4R for all his textbooks.”
You might wonder, “Isn’t this too time‑consuming?” It adds time initially, but reduces re‑reading later.
