Question Answer Relationships (QAR) has successfully improved the reading comprehension of students in a variety of geographical and educational settings, including suburban, rural, general education, and bilingual education. QAR provides students and teachers with a common vocabulary to discuss the comprehension strategy of questioning. QAR helps students to better answer comprehension questions in their reading.
In QAR students learn the difference between answers that are found “In the text” and “On my own”. As evident above research demonstrates the importance of an awareness of question types, QAR teaches students to use the question answer relationship to improve reading comprehension.
In class we will be discussing, demonstrating, creating and answering all 4 kinds of questions, and then applying this strategy to FCAT-style questions and the sample FCAT materials. This Active Reading Strategy will provide our students with another tool to maximize comprehension.
