Reciprocal Teaching at Work: Strategies for Improving Reading Comprehension

This book is great as a first intro to Reciprocal Teaching. These are great research based strategies you can use to improve students' comprehension. I used this book with my whole 2nd grade class and then formed book clubs with my higher readers. They loved it!

As an elementary principal the book Reciprocal Teaching at Work has helped my staff incorporate the method of reciprocal teaching in the classroom. The textbook is written in a way that is easy for teachers to understand and apply to their everyday reading program. This is an excellent resource.

My teaching has been refined and my students are working towards independence as great readers. It's easy to apply to curriculum already in place!

This book is an excellent tool for teaching the four important reading stategies of predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing. The third graders that I have used it with love the characters. They are using the strategies more because of the characters that were used to introduce them. The fifth graders in our school have taken over the teaching of the strategies using reciprocal teaching. It is an excellent tool to teach reading either whole class or small group.
