Reciprocal Teaching

Reciprocal Teaching is a strategy that engages students in various aspects of reading and comprehension and can be used in any content.  Students should first be taught each step independently before being expected to do all of them together.  In reciprocal teaching, students work on summarizing, questioning, clarifying, and predicting.  Hattie cites reciprocal teaching as a high-yield strategy with an impact size of .74

  • Give One/Get One: Interactive method for reviewing content, eliciting background knowledge, or processing newly taught information.
