The  Question  Answer  Relationship  (QAR)  strategy  equips  students  with  tools  to  successfully decode and comprehend what they read. An action research project over 18 days with twenty-three kindergarteners adapted exposure to QAR’s “In the Book” and “In my Head” categories with similar questions for each of two popular Aesop’s fables. The challenges and outcomes are  presented  with  special  emphasis  on  teacher-preparation,  teacher-reflections,  and  a  hands-on,  day-by-day  project-implementation.  An  oral  pre-test,  after  reading  The  Tortoise  and  the Hare,  served  as  a  baseline  assessment  for  student-comprehension  levels.  The  QAR  strategy was then explicitly taught, with opportunities to practice the comprehension skills in small and large groups  with parental assistance. Students overwhelmingly scored higher on the post-test reading  comprehension  after  the  read-aloud  of  The  Jay  and  the  Peacock  with  some  receiving perfect scores.
