PRSR STRATEGY

PRSR STRATEGY
The PRSR reading comprehension strategy (REFERENCE) follows the same general pattern as most of
the other organization strategies in this section. PRSR stands for preview, read, self-test, and review.
Text organization, paraphrasing, and self-evaluation are stressed.
Preview
Read the title and introduction. What do you already know about the subject? Read the headings and
subheadings to determine the main ideas covered in the text. Examine the illustrations for additional
information. Look at the words in italics or bold print. Read the summary and then skim any review
questions or discussion questions at the end of the chapter.

Read
Form the headings into questions and then read with the goal of answering those questions. Identify
important points by underlining or taking notes. Use think-aloud to work through the meaning of the
text. Clarify meanings further with visual imagery.
Self-Test
Monitor understanding by answering self-made questions as well as review and discussion questions at
the end of the chapter without referring to the text. Use summaries to organize important information.
Try explaining key ideas and concepts to another person.
Review
 Check answers to review questions against the text. Reconsider information that was forgotten or
misunderstood. Repeat the self-test and review stages until the material is mastered. Then review
periodically to keep the information in long-term memory.
