CRCB Chapter 9: Using Preview, Study Read and Review (PSR) Strategies

The "PSR" technique requires that you question yourself before, during and after you read. It encourages you to participate in a reader-author conversation rather than just reading passively. You asses what an author is telling you and decide if it makes sense. Add to what you know by recalling related info. This active participation helps us understand and remember textbook material. The PSR technique requires us to write in our learning journal. By commenting in writing helps us digest an authors ideas and articulate our own. By identifying where you got confused in a reading, you can return to that point and reread the relevant section. This will help us understand the material or alert us to ask for help from an instructor or classmate.
