  2. QAR Description • Stands for Question Answer Relationship • A strategy for text comprehension • Requires students to think about where they find their answers • Using this strategy, students examine the relationship between the question, the text to which it refers, and to the background knowledge and information.

  3. Purposes • Enhances students’ ability to answer comprehension questions. • Helps the students to think critically about where they find answers and how they should be thinking about specific questions. • Allows students to think critically about questions so that they are better equipped to answer them.

  4. QAR Format • Four categories where answers can be found: • In the Text • Think and Search • Right There • In My Head • Author and You • On my own

  5. In the Text: Think and Search • The answer is in the text, but the words used in the question and those used for the answer are not in the same sentence. You need to think about different parts of the text and how ideas can be put together before you answer the question.

  6. In the Text: Right There • The answer is not in the text. The words used in the question and the words used for the answer can usually be found in the same sentence.

  7. In My Head: Author and You • The answer is not in the text. You need to think about what you know, what the author says, and how they fit together.

  8. In my Head: On My Own • The text got you thinking, but the answer is inside your head. The author can’t help you much. So think about the question, and use what you know already to answer it.

  9. Practicing QAR • Flip your paper to the QAR worksheet and turn to page 81 in your textbook. • Work quietly by yourself for four minutes. When finished, find a group of 4-5. • Use the QAR chart to help you answer the questions.
