Reading Comprehension
QAR Strategy
Appropriate Grade Level: K-2
Procedures/Steps:
Right There answers are found in a single sentence in the text
Putting It Together or Think and Search answers must be found across
sections of text
Author and You answers require the reader to infer the meaning from
the text because the answer to the question is not stated explicitly
On My Own answers rely on the reader’s experience and knowledge
Comments and/or tips:
Comprehension strategies can be important to a reader because they have the
potential to provide access to knowledge that is removed from personal
experience.
