Give me self-explanation prompts while I study
Use to generate the right questions to ask yourself as you read, so you process actively.
I am about to study {{topic}}. Give me a set of self-explanation prompts to ask myself as I read, so I think actively instead of skimming.
Produce 3 groups of prompts:
- Before reading (activate what I know, set goals).
- During reading (connect, predict, question, paraphrase).
- After reading (summarize, find gaps, apply).
Make the prompts specific to {{topic}} where possible, not generic. Keep each prompt short enough to actually use mid-read. End with the single most powerful question to ask whenever I feel lost.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
