ABSTRACT:
A keyword teaching and testing method which includes teaching individuals how to become familiar with material and understand particular areas of interest by pinpointing keywords and grouping sentences according to main ideas. The method includes five readings of a segment of text. First, the student reads the segment of text simply to become familiar with the subject matter. During the course of a second reading, the same student underlines "keywords" and groups sentences. Prior to a third reading, the student physically deletes the underlined keywords from the text leaving blanks in the text. As the student reads the text for a third time, the student attempts to fill in the blanks relying on comprehension recall, skipping those blanks where comprehension fails. As the text is read for a fourth time, the incorrectly filled in blanks are corrected and the blanks which were skipped are now filled in. While reading the text for a fifth time, the student should be able to fill in substantially all of the blanks correctly. Upon completion of this 5 step procedure, the student answers a fill-in-the-blank practice questionnaire containing sentence fragments extracted from the book. Finally, all of the questions pre-prepared from the complete text book are used to administer the final unmarked open book timed test, which questions are randomly selected by the students.
