Reading for NAPLAN: Q.A.R. Strategy to Improve Reading Results
The Question-Answer Relationship (QAR) strategy presents a three-way relationship between
questions, text content, and reader knowledge. This strategy empowers students as it defines for
them the relationship between questions and their answers. There are four basic types of question
and answer relationships. Right There, Think and Search: are found in the text. Author and Me,
On My Own: are found in the head. Students who understand how questions are written are better
prepared to answer them correctly.
