Reciprocal Teaching:
This strategy has the students read and question texts that they read on their own (or in groups or pairs) as if they were the teacher introducing it for the first time. In order for the students to know how to do this, the teacher needs to initially model what she wants from them. Once the students are clear with how the teacher would like them to read a text and summarize or question it can she step back and have her students do that job on their own.

I have never heard of this strategy before, but it seems to be interesting and effective!
ReplyDeleteI never hear of this idea but after reading about it and watching the video in you article, I would really like to implement it in my classrooms. It is so great because students get involved and its a change from the regular teaching. It is also a great way for teachers to assess the students comprehension skills.
