What is it?
• An activity in which small groups of mixed ability systematically apply four key comprehension strategies to a text.–Predicting–Questioning–Clarifying– Summarizing
Where did it come from?
• Inspired by Reciprocal Questioning (ReQuest)• Developed by Annemarie Palincsar and Ann
Brown at the Center for the Study of Reading

What’s the process?
Introduce the day's text• Build background knowledge• Set a purpose for reading
Engage all groups in prediction• Talk about title and solicit predictions
Tell students to read a chunk and identify words and sentences to clarify; group members can help with them.
Have each student in each group formulate and ask one question; other students can answer.
Have each group summarize individually, and then contribute to a whole-class summary

What is the teacher’s role?
When should we schedule RT?
• In the upper elementary grades, it could be scheduled during science or social studies, using nonfiction texts related to current topics.
• In middle and high school, it could take place:– In science and social studies classrooms–During ELT periods
How do we get started?
• You have to plan! You can’t simply decide to do RT one day and expect it to go well.
• You must introduce and model the four strategies one at a time.
• You must introduce and model the process so that students know what to do.
• Try posting the cycle diagram for all to see.• Give RT time to work! Before long the process
will become second nature.
