Why use Reciprocal Teaching?
Reciprocal teaching enables students to construct meaning and to self-monitor as they
read.
Reciprocal teaching is in the top 10 most effective strategies.
(Hattie 2012)
Metacognition is our goal, and reciprocal teaching does this.
After 15–20 days of instruction, Palincsar and Brown (1984) saw students go from scoring 30% to scoring
80% on a reading comprehension assessment.
• After 76 lessons, students improved by one to two reading levels (Cooper,Boschken, McWilliams, &
Pistochini, 2000).
Too Much Teacher Talk?
• 93.31% (1074 discussions) were completely monologic (teacher-centered) in nature
• Of the 6.69% (77) that included “dialogic episodes” (moments when students directed the conversation), those episodes lasted for an average of 15 seconds (Nystrand et al., 2003)
In one study of
1,151 classroom
discussions:
“Students in classrooms with high academic demands and more emphasis on discussion-based approaches show higher end-of-year literacy performance.”
(Applebee et al., 2003, p. 717)
Reciprocal Teaching
Reciprocal Teaching is a dialogue between teacher and students using four strategies:
Generating Questions
Directs reader to specific information
Forces reader to reprocess and
manipulate text
Summarizing
Helps reader focus on pertinent information
Focuses active involvement of reader
Clarifying
Directs reader to look for confusing parts of
the text
Helps reader decide which “fix up” strategy to use
Predicting
Forces reader to read with anticipation
Causes reader to look for clues indicating where the author is
headed
The Four Foundations:

Scaffolding Metacognition

Example Lesson Plan
Blooms Flipbook
Protocol: Give One, Get One
What
• Inclusion activity
• Opener (for day, class period, etc.)
• Practice working with each one of the four parts of reciprocal teaching
Why
• Builds community
• Gets everyone’s voice in the room
• Sets the norm for respectful listening
• Engagement / Accountability
• Formative Assessment
How
• On the Give One, Get One sheet, write down answers to the question below. Be prepared to share your ideas.
Discuss with your group how you could use the Bloom’s flipbook in your classroom.
No one best way to begin using reciprocal
teaching in your
classroom exists. The
key is to regularly
model and practice
the strategies with your students.
Some teachers
begin with whole-class
sessions, while others
prefer a guided reading setting.
Some intermediate
-grade teachers use
reciprocal teaching in a
guided reading
setting with struggling
readers and with the
whole class during
content area reading.
Primary-grade
teachers may use
reciprocal teaching with Big
Books and in guided reading groups.
Later, when students in grades 2–8 know how
the strategies
work together, teachers
can introduce literature
circles.
What is the best way to get started with reciprocal teaching?
How will I implement Reciprocal Teaching?
Take a moment to read through the lesson strategy instruction
handouts.
Think about how you could implement or deepen your teaching of Reciprocal Teaching into your instruction on a
regular basis.
How you will monitor your students’ progression?
Share your plan with a partner.
Review
Define each of the four reciprocal
teaching strategies.
What are the four foundations
that underpin reciprocal teaching lessons?
Why is reciprocal teaching
important?
• Activate Prior Knowledge– Review the reciprocal teaching strategies.– Review prior knowledge of content.
• Before Reading– Predict.– Question or wonder.
• During Reading– Have students look for words and/or ideas to clarify. – Coach individual students in any of the four reciprocal teaching strategies.
• After Reading– Clarify—discuss.– Return to original predictions.– Question—ask quiz or teacher questions.– Summarize.
Describe what the teacher does during each part of the Guided Reading lesson.
