QAR Questions

This week for reading we practise our QAR strategy. We had to read the book called Matariki breakfast. After that we had to come up 10 questions. We used the QAR questions which are think and search, right there, author and you and on my own. 

The QAR Questions:

A right there question means that the answer could be found in the book.

A think and search question is an answer that is also in the book but you have to search different places in the book.

Author and you question is not in the book but the author has told you to come up with the answer.

On my own question is a question which is related to the main topic of the book.

These questions help you find the answer and it could help you make an answer of your own. This could improve your knowledge of understanding the book.
