In SQ3R, which step follows Reading and involves recalling or reciting answers?

In this approach, after you have read, the next step is recite. Recite means you actively recall the main ideas and the answers to the questions you formed earlier, then put them into your own words or say them aloud. This retrieval practice strengthens memory and helps you check what you truly understand, rather than just recognizing text. It also serves as a quick self-check: if you can accurately recite the key points, you’re more likely to have grasped the material. The following step, Review, is where you go back to verify your recitations, fill in anything you missed, and reinforce learning. Earlier steps—Survey (skimming), and Question (turning headings into questions)—set up what you’ll recite.
