Questioning is when readers ask questions about a piece of text and author's meaning in order to find and gather information, clarify, and build comprehension. Through the strategy of questions, students will be able to drastically increase their comprehension. By answering and asking questions, students are engaging in their learning and interacting with the text. Students should learn to ask questions before, during, and after reading to help build comprehension.
This strategy is beneficial in increasing students participation in class. When teaching a whole group lesson, the questioning strategy could be a very useful tool to get all students involved. Questioning does not just occur when reading. The strategy can also be used to build deeper knowledge of lessons taught or discussions.
Question-Answer Relationships: The QAR is a questioning strategy that teachers can implement in their classroom. It teaches students how to answer questions by learning where to find the answers. Answers come from either the text or the mind of the reader.
