Currently, the General Education Programme 2018 has been implemented with the aim of developing competencies and qualities for students. In addition, the 2018 Program also calls for the innovation of teaching methods and techniques to develop comprehensive skills and qualities. In particular, the development of reading skills is extremely important and urgent nowadays to develop literary sensory skills. For High school students, text reading tactics or skills are not diverse and difficult to access, not a deep understanding of the text. SQ3R is a well-known reading tactic that gives students a number of specific and useful manipulations for each reading phase (before – during and after reading). It is for this reason that the study was conducted to analyze the techniques and use them in teaching reading and understanding to develop the variety of skills required by the 2018 Programme. What is SQ3R? How's it going? In the study, we conducted a detailed study to solve the two problems. The results of the study showed that during the reading and understanding hours, students used the SQ3R technique to improve their reading and reading skills. In addition, when you use the technique, you see that reading text is an extremely important operation in the process of experiencing the same text.
