Super QAR

Grades: 1 - 5

QAR—Question Answer Relationships—is a research-based method for getting students to think about what they read. It helps students identify the type of question they're being asked and shows them how to approach each type to answer it correctly. Super QAR uses research-proven strategies, developed through years of classroom experience, to help students in Grades 1-8.

Program Details

Super QAR goes beyond QAR by providing:

  • A framework for comprehension instruction
  • A language for discussing comprehension strategies
  • A way to implement effective school-wide reading comprehension instruction
  • An approach to improve test-taking skills through authentic instructional activities
  • A perfect supplement to all literacy curriculums regardless of the reading approach

Super QAR has many potential applications. Start the year with Super QAR and teach the Super QAR developmental skills for each grade. You can space the booster lessons throughout the year to support comprehension development. Use Super QAR to review test-taking skills before high stakes tests. And, extend learning in after school and summer school programs with Super QAR.
