Concern for Students
Present emphasis on basic skills All students can also benefit from
instruction in higher level thinking In general, students of diverse
backgrounds have few opportunities for such instruction

QAR - Question Answer Relationships Research-based A strategy to promote higher order
thinking An approach to test preparation A language for talking about questioning
activities
![Page 9: Super QAR for Test-wise Students Taffy Raphael & Kathryn Au Senior Authors](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102908/56649e165503460f94b01441/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In the BookRight There: A “detail” type of question, where words used to form the question and words that answer the question are often “right there” in the same sentence.
Think & Search: The answer is in the text, but readers have to “think & search” to find the answer; sometimes within a paragraph, across paragraphs, or even chapters.

In My HeadAuthor and Me: The information to answer the question comes from my background knowledge, but to even make sense of the question, I’d need to have read and understood the text.
On My Own: The question relates to the text, but I could probably answer this one even if I had never read the text. All the ideas and information come from my background knowledge.
