A step-by-step guide to help the teacher introduce reading comprehension strategies associated with Reciprocal Teaching to the students.

An outline for the teacher to follow when introducing a new text and applying reading comprehension strategies.

This handout lists the four strategies to help students figure out the meanings of words as they read.

Hand out these cards to students in order to assign cooperative learning roles. Each card assigns a student to one reading strategy.

The teacher/leader for each group will follow these scripts. Five separate scripts are available, for Group 1, Group 2,Group 3,Group 4, and Group 5.

Print a bookmark for each student which will act as a reminder of the reading strategies used in Reciprocal Teaching.

For use with the bookmark, above, this worksheet will help each group take notes and record observations made while reading.
