Q Question - Always ask questions. just because what the author has said is in print, that does not mean that they are right.

R Revise - Refer to notes you have made previously whenever you have the opportunity to do so. Sometimes we only appreciate something later. Also, revision is vital for recalL

S Stretch - Your body is involved in your reading as well as your mind. Reading can be a passive activity. When you read for any length of time your body may become stiff. Stretch your body whenever you take a break. If you feel that you are losing concentration make a good stretch the first thing you do.

T Time - Take time to develop any new skill. Enjoy the gap between knowing you don't know how to do something and achieving success. Be patient with yourself.

U Use - The more you use the information you learn, the better you will remember it and be able to apply it when you need it. Teach someone else, write a report, an article or a book, discuss what you read with others.

V Vocabulary - Use Steps 2 and 3 (preview and passive reading) to identify words you don'r understand. Look them up before you continue. If you encounter a word you don't understand while you are reading, take note, keep going and look it up at the end of the paragraph or section. You may find that the meaning becomes clear in the context of the text.

WWork is play with a suit on- Make whatever you do fun and you will be able to carry on longer and perform more cffectivrly.

X Explore- Find information from as many different sources as possible. Sometimes you can get what you are looking for in a text more quickly from a phone call to an expert or a friend.

Y You -Reading and learning is a personal skill. Often you arc the only one involved when you have to perform. Make sure that the techniques you use work for you. Try a variery of different ways of reading and learning and create a set of tools that suits you.

Z ZZZ -Sleep. Avoid reading and studying at the expense of a good night's sleep. Take breaks whenever you need them. Read something enlightening but light before you go to sleep and think about what it means to you.
