The correct order of the steps for analyzing a text using the SQ3R method is as follows:
- Glance at headings and skim the introduction to gain a sense of the overall text
- Use headings as questions to answer as you read
- Look for the answers to the questions you formulated
- In your own words, recite answers to your questions
- Test your memory by stating the central idea of the text
This sequence helps you effectively preview the text, actively engage while reading, and consolidate your understanding afterward.
