Reciprocal Teaching is a before, during and after reading and learning strategy that encourages students to develop four key skills - summarise, question, clarify, predict - and respond to what they are reading. Students use these skills on text across subject areas, in pairs or small groups. Explicitly teaching key reading comprehension and learning skills - making connections, self-questioning, visualising, inferring, determining importance, summarising, synthesising and self-monitoring - can help students become more purposeful, active readers, thinkers and learners.
