Asking Questions

Use questions to guide your reading.  Before reading a section of the text, ask yourself a question about the section.  This could be a question of who, what, where, when, how, or why.  You might use a question provided by the author(s) at the end of the chapter.  

 

Alternatively, you might use a heading to derive a question. "Take the first heading in the chapter and turn it into a question before reading the paragraphs in that section. For instance, if the heading is “A Limited Partnership,” read it as “What is a limited partnership?” Now you have created a purpose for reading because you are looking for the answer to the question."  https://in.nau.edu/academic-success-centers/sq3r-reading-method/
