Do your students struggle with reading comprehension? I’m Lori Oczkus, literacy consultant and author, and I’d like to share with you a FREE BOOKMARK and lesson ideas using a proven comprehension strategy that is high-yield, low-prep, and engaging. Reciprocal teaching, or what I call “The Fab Four”, is a set of robust strategies that good readers use to comprehend text - predict, question, clarify, and summarize. When we model this powerful package of strategies for students during classroom discussions comprehension dramatically increases. We often yield as much as two years’ growth in just a few months! My work with reciprocal teaching has been endorsed by leading researchers such as Tim Rasinski, Doug Fischer, and John Hattie.
