Highly Effective Reading/Collaboration Strategy

10/13/2014

0 Comments

 
Reciprocal Teaching is a reading/content learning strategy with a large, positive effect on student achievement. After initial teacher modeling, the students will be doing the work, reading and taking on one of four leadership roles: summarizing, questioning, clarifying, and predicting. Reciprocal Teaching works for shorter and longer readings, both fiction and nonfiction.  

 
Because the impact on student is so great (.77 effect size. Anything above .40 contributes to more than a year of growth in student learning), teachers may want to use Reciprocal Teaching throughout the year as one of their primary reading strategy tools. As an added benefit, minimal planning is involved, and it will be the students who go home tired at the end of the day - not you; teachers spend class time listening to student discussions, providing guidance as needed. Click here for ready-to-implement resources.
