Question-Answer Relationships
Speaking Briefly: An Overview of the Literacy Strategy
Question-Answer Relationships (QAR) is a technique to help students differentiate the types of questions they can ask of text (Raphael, 1986). Research confirms that QAR is an effective method for developing self-efficacy and confidence in readers as they grapple with processing text (Duke & Pearson, 2002).
This modified version of QAR is designed to be used with pictures (Cortese, 2003). Visual imagery is a key component of digital text, and the ability to make an inference from a picture is a critical skill in the new literacies (Dalton & Proctor, 2009). As students construct the main idea and generate inferences using visual images, they are internalizing critical strategies to also process printed text.
