QAR is a research-based method and language framework developed by Taffy Raphael (1986) for enhancing student’s ability to talk about and answer comprehension questions. Applicable to both literary and informational texts, QAR helps students understand that answers come from one of two main courses of information: In the Text and In My Head. (Raphael and Au 2005)
In this sample lesson model, sample text is used to represent a selection at student’s independent reading level. The same model can be adapted and used to enhance comprehension instruction for literary or informational text in any commercial reading or content-area program-as long as the text is at the appropriate level
