The SQ4R method is a reading comprehension strategy that can help you to improve your understanding and retention of information. The “question” phase of SQ4R is where you generate questions about the material you are reading. This step is crucial because it helps you to focus your attention on the key points of the text and to identify areas where you need more information.
There are a number of different ways to generate questions about a text. One simple method is to simply ask yourself “who, what, when, where, why, and how” about the main topic of the text. You can also try to identify the author’s main argument or thesis, and then generate questions about the evidence that the author provides to support their claims.
