<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This teaching tip describes an intervention used in a third‐grade classroom implemented to help students pass an end‐of‐grade reading comprehension test. Low scores on a practice end‐of‐grade comprehension test prompted a re‐examination of classroom reading instruction and a plan for intervention. This teaching tip describes the phases implemented over an eight‐week period to add the Question Answer Relationship (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">QAR</jats:styled-content>) strategy to students’ reader's toolboxes to increase comprehension and improve test scores. Most student scores on end‐of‐grade test increased after this intervention, which supports the use of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">QAR</jats:styled-content> to improve test scores while furthering literacy development.</jats:p>
