Featuring a variety of classroom settings, this resource presents engaging lessons that implement a discussion technique to improve reading comprehension. This technique, reciprocal teaching, is based on teacher modelling, student participation and four strategies that readers use to comprehend text: predicting, questioning, clarifying and summarizing. A detailed description of the four comprehension strategies (applicable to visual, oral and written text), ideas for leading students in reciprocal teaching, discussions in different social contexts and appended assessment forms are included in this resource.--Ministry of Education website.
