This manuscript is an examination of a life well lived with the professional contributions of a leader who served across the fields of educational psychology, counseling, and literacy. Francis P. Robinson was a pioneer in the development of postsecondary literacy theory, research, and pedagogy. Although he is most widely known for what is perhaps the best-known textbook study strategy in the world, SQ3R, his contributions to the field of reading and learning strategy research and praxis have gone well beyond the influence of SQ3R.
