Creating a Literate Nation by Leveraging the Power of the Family

Introducing Comprehension Strategies to Adult Readers

A set of free videos on our website introduce two research-based reading comprehension strategies to adult learners—coding text and question-answer relationship (QAR). Each video is about two minutes long.  The videos present some strategies that you can use with your learners who need to improve their reading comprehension.

Although the focus of these pages is reading instruction, it is not about working with beginning readers. It’s about helping those adult learners who are competent at identifying words and wouldn’t describe themselves as having “a reading problem” strengthen their understanding of text.
