The QAR strategy involves students making some fairly subtle distinctions among different types of questions. The QAR strategy is one of several strategies that you can use with students to help them build reading-comprehension skills.

This is the third lesson in a set of questioning lessons designed for primary grades. Students will then learn how to generate QAR questions on their own. In this lesson, you will teach students how to use QAR by reading from Frog and Toad Together, by Arnold Lobel and modeling QAR questions as you read. The classic Frog and Toad stories by Arnold Lobel have won numerous awards and honors, including a Newbery Honor ( Frog and Toad Together), a Caldecott Honor ( Frog and Toad Are Friends), ALA Notable Children's Book, Fanfare Honor List (The Horn Book), School Library Journal Best Children's Book, and Library of Congress Children's Book.This lesson is designed to expand primary students' skills in questioning, using the Question-Answer Relationships (QAR) strategy. Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the engaging stories, longer sentences, and language play of Level Two books are proven to help kids take their next steps toward reading success.

Winner of the Newbery Honor award, Frog and Toad Together is a Level Two I Can Read book, geared for kids who read on their own but still need a little help. School Library Journal called this story collection from Arnold Lobel "a masterpiece of child-styled humor and sensitivity." And when both Frog and Toad are scared, they are brave together. When Toad bakes cookies, Frog helps him eat them. When Toad admires the flowers in Frog's garden, Frog gives him seeds to grow a garden of his own. The beloved classic about friendship-a Newbery Honor Book!įrog and Toad are best friends-they do everything together.
