SNIPS strategy (REFERENCE) in reading strategy

Reading comprehension may be improved by using the SNIPS strategy (REFERENCE). It is a five-step
reading approach for facilitating on-line processing through interpretation of visual aids.
There are some similarities in the types of tasks involved in SNIPS and other reading comprehension
strategies such as SQ3R and RAP. SNIPS, however, focuses exclusively on pictures, graphs, charts,
maps, time lines, and other visual representations found in texts. As such, SNIPS may be used
effectively with more text-based approaches to enhance student understanding of reading assignments
Perform Goal Setting
Consider why you are analyzing the text parts. Is it to aid understanding? To improve class
participation? To improve the quality of lecture notes? To improve quiz scores? Identify a goal related to
this reason, such as making one comment or asking one question in the next class, or improving the next
quiz score by five points. Make a positive self-statement.
Analyze Little Parts
Divide the text into parts, such as title, headings, visuals, and words. Analyze one part at a time. What is
the main idea of each part? What details support each part? Explain the information included in each
part. Then, based on one part, predict what the next part will discuss. After reading all parts, tie them
together. How are the parts related?
Review Big Parts
Review the introduction and summary of the text. Search for signal words, such as "the most important"
or "the purpose is," that indicate the main ideas. Decide what the author's main goal or purpose is. Relate
the new information to knowledge you have already about the subject. Paraphrase the main ideas into
your own words.
Think of Questions You Hope Will Be Answered
Identify your own questions based on titles and headings, previous knowledge, and predictions. Check
the questions at the end of the text.
State Relationships
Consider how the text relates to other texts in the unit. Consider how the text relates to the course
objectives indicated on the syllabus. Consider how the text relates to what you already know about the
subject
