Strategy : Question-Answer-Relationship

Explanation/Purpose: This teaches students to ask questions about the text they are reading and in turn try to answer them. Helping the students develop the ability to ask the right questions of themselves and the text is an important part of the reading process.

How it looks in the classroom: Children don’t realise that they can question the author in reading just as they do it after watching a show or a movie, but this strategy helps them refine their questions so they are able to pull out specific information from the text.

When? : Before, during & after reading
