How do our students answer questions? • Some students rely on memory… • Some students rely on the text… • Some students rely on their prior knowledge…

Right There The answer uses the same word/phrases stated in the question. Answer is in one location (sentence/paragraph) Literal comprehension Think And Search The answer may have some of the words/phrases as the stated in the question.

Author and Me The reader needs to use prior knowledge/life experiences and information from the text to answer the question. On My Own The reader only needs to use prior knowledge/ life experiences to answer the question. In My Head
Uses of QAR • Foster and increase student’s metacognition--an integral factor of learning • Increase student understanding of different types of questions • Increase student understanding of how to answer different types of questions • Teachers gain understanding of how a student “tackles” a question • Informs teachers on student’s strenghts and weaknesses in understanding and answering questions.

How to Incorporate in a Variety of Instructional Settings • Independent, Partner, Guided Reading • Read Alouds • Centers • Literature Groups • Assessment • Cooperative Groups
The only way that we can confidently assess our students’ comprehension is when they share their thinking with us. Readers reveal their comprehension by responding to text, not by answering a litany of literal questions at the end of a chapter on rocks and minerals. Personal responses to reading give us a window into students’ minds. We connect with their thinking when we know what is going on for them as they read. Strategies that Work, Daniels and Goudvis
