A practical and easy-to-follow guide for making reciprocal teaching work in a variety of classroom situations.
Timothy V. Rasinski, Kent State University

Use this innovative teaching model to help your students construct meaning from text by integrating four reading comprehension strategies — predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing — into whole-class sessions, guided reading groups, and literature circles.

You’ll find an array of tools for using reciprocal teaching:

  • Practical lessons
  • Reproducible forms
  • Suggested resources
  • Student assessment options
  • Intervention ideas for struggling readers

And also available: A companion video (in VHS or DVD format) that shows you all the steps in action.
