Overview:

encourages students to develop and analyze their own questions necessary
for productive discussion and comprehension.

Instructional
Reading Strategy: QAR-Secondary Reading
Steps:
-
Introduce QAR’s with a reading selection.
Make sure each student has a copy of the four kinds of questions
(either put on overhead/board or as handout).
-
Introduce each kind of question. Then develop an example question from the selected reading.
-
After you have modeled several questions for each type, explain
that the students will be asked
to develop questions on their own.
These questions will generate discussions and possibly test
questions.
(Raphael, 1982)
