This is an integrated strategy approach to reading comprehension (Guthrie, 2003). This involves training learners to use a set of strategies through the sequence of modelling, scaffolding, and guided practice. These strategies include:

1. activating background knowledge,
2. questioning, searching for information,
3. summarizing,
4. organizing graphically,
5. and structuring stories

Coined by Palincsar and Brown in 1986. In this procedure, the teacher trains the learners to use four main strategies:

1.  The students predict the content of the paragraph before reading it;
2.  They make questions focusing on the main idea of the paragraph;
3.  They summarize what has just been read;
4.  They seek clarification on difficult points in the paragraph

This is a step-by-step strategy for effective reading. It was introduced by Francis P. Robinson, an American education philosopher in his 1946.  The name stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review
