Research shows that teachers are asking their students far too many literal questions, while state and national assessments are focusing on questions that require higher-levels of thinking. This means teachers need to improve not only their students' comprehension and questioning skills but their own questioning skills as well. QAR is a comprehension strategy that can translate into success for everyone. This effective resource explains and demonstrates how to use QAR; describes the 4 different types of question-answer relationships; provides a 3-step process for teaching QAR; demonstrates how to differentiate instruction and scaffold activities; discusses the role of QAR in test preparation; includes a CD with fully reproducible sample text and pictorial examples.
Designed to transfer across the curriculum, the QAR strategy can be applied to all of your students' reading--from literature, social studies, and history to math and science. And once this happens, you'll see some powerful learning take place!
