Reading Strategy: QAR (Question, Answer Relationships)

Purpose for reading: To create and answer different types of questions

QAR has four types of questions:

• Right there: The answer can be found directly in the text

• Think and Search: The answer is in the text , but you need to put together different information to come up with the answer (synthesize)

• Author and you: The answer is not in the text, but you can use the information in the article to come up with an answer. You need to think about what information the author gave you as you read the text.

• On my own: The information is not in the article, but you will be able to speculate (guess) about an answer now that you have read the text
