Reciprocal Teaching
Reciprocal Teaching
We are embracing another comprehension strategy, Reciprocal Teaching. Below is a quick summary of the strategy. Reciprocal Teaching yields amazing benefits while enhancing our dialogue and understanding of content. During science, students will strategically engage in their learning through Reciprocal Teaching, Reciprocal Questioning, color-coded notes and Visible Thinking practices.
“With reciprocal teaching, students predict before reading and then check their predictions during reading. They stop to clarify unknown words or ideas during reading. They ask “teacher questions” during and after reading to check for understanding. And they summarize either a page or the entire text selection after reading.”
