focus and pay attention more on just the essential parts needed.

POST READING STRATEGIES:
1. Question Answer Relationship

QAR is the strategy that concentrates on the relationship between
the questions and answers. This strategy has 4 basic types of
relationships. First the “Right There” type in which the answers are
found in the text and the question is formed with similar words from
answer. Second the “Think and Search” type in which the answers
are found in the text, however; the question is formatted with
dissimilar words in the answer.
Third is the “Author and Me” type which consists of an answer
that is not in the text. Answer is found from what is read and what
reader already knows. Fourth is the “On My Own” type which the
answer is found from within the reader ’s opinions and experiences.
I like this site because it was very straight forward with explaining
the relationships between questions and answers. The site also
provides various links for further description and practices of this
strategy.
