The S-RUN-R read/study system is a helpful way for students to comprehend the information that they read. The system is divided into five parts.
The letters stand for S: Survey, R: Read, U: Underline, N: Notes, R: Review
First you survey or more accurately skim through chapter. The student is paying attention to the title and important headings. This will give you a basic overview of the chapter. The R means read. After finishing reading you would underline or highlight the important information in each paragraph. Then you move on to the note taking step. You will go back to the information you underlined and put the information into your own words. Finally you will do a review.
The advantage to this method is that it is repetitive and it helps to identify the important information in the chapter. Instead of cramming a lot of information into the students head the information is gradually taken in.
I have always studied using this method. I find that the repetitive nature of this method helps me to comprehend and retain information better.
