Introduction to Question-Answer Relationship for STUDENTS – Reading Strategy (any text any subject!)

Time poor but want to make sure you provide higher order comprehension question for texts studied in your lesson? This reading strategy is for you! QAR can be used for any text type in any subject for all year levels.

The resource includes:
- 2 PowerPoint introduction lessons (one for upper primary -middle and the other for senior)
- Practice activity
- Poster 1 highlights the 4 levels of comprehension questions and where the student will find the answer.
- Poster 2 and 3 highlight and prompt student as to where to locate answers to comprehension questions and develop these skills so they can apply them in other settings.
- Poster 4 highlights the types of questions for each level and how to answer the questions from each level.

The PowerPoint is to introduce the concepts of QAR to students and the posters are designed to be general so that they can be used with any text studied in any subject. The idea is that you have a ‘go to’ set of engaging and differentiated questions and comprehension prompts, saving you valuable prep time and incorporating high quality learning activities every time!

This resource has been thoroughly designed so no extra prep or specialised ability is needed! It can be used to incorporate literacy skills into your lesson or used in literacy intervention lessons.

This lesson should be accessible to Year 4-12/ KS2 and KS3 students.

QAR allows you to create differentiated comprehension activities and provide a challenge for more able students.
