participation and dialogue aids learning as well as

Reading comprehension – the most important part of reading, right? What is reading if we aren’t making meaning? You’re all here because you want to learn more about comprehension and that’s what we’ll do today. We’ll focus on reciprocal teaching as one way to help kids understand text. Whether RT is totally new to you or you’re looking to learn more about this strategy that you’ve tried, we are hoping you’ll learn from this presentation. Our presenters are all associated with ECU – I am a prof and my co-presenters are current or former students in the MAEd READ program. They are currently teaching at various levels in various counties. [each will briefly introduce herself/position/county].
Like Smarties, RTis a classic…it’s been around for almost 30 years (originally palinscar and brown in the mid eighties) and has a proven track record with various populations and grade levels. It’s an Oldie but Goodie because it’s:1-easy to implement2-free3-not a program4-uses words and language that kids understand5-makes sense
It is characterized by three main components: TEXT, THINKING ABOUT TEXT (comprehension), and TALKING ABOUT TEXT. It is an instructional activity that involves dialogue between teachers and students about segments/chunks of text. The dialogue is structured by the use of four strategies: summarizing, question generating, clarifying, and predicting. The teacher and students take turns assuming the role of teacher in leading this dialogue. The goal is to bring meaning to the text and to support the notion that readers monitor their understanding of text they read and to gradually release responsibility until students can lead discussions.
HOWEVER, RT is-not saying go read and write questions, go read and predict-share example about literature circles(Non example-what reciprocal teaching isn’t)
Reciprocal teaching gives students a structure to develop and share thinking using four reading strategies gradual release of responsibility.
We’ve all had students who have difficulty interacting with the text as they read which hurts their ability to retell and comprehend the story. Reciprocal teaching is a strategy to get students to “dive” into the text. It encourages the use of reading strategies with small chunks of text.
Week by week guide to reciprocal teaching
Dig Deep with QUESTIONING
Read the passage “Am I a Frog Yet?”
Questions to begin with Who? What? Why? Where? When?...I wonder questions don’t facilitate discussions well….(example)

RT is a structure that involves dialogue between teachers and students about segments/chunks of text. The dialogue is structured by the use of four strategies: summarizing, question generating, clarifying, and predicting. The teacher and students take turns assuming the role of teacher in leading this dialogue. The goal is to bring meaning to the text and to support the notion that readers monitor their understanding of text they read and to gradually release responsibility until students can lead discussions. Eventually, students will use strategies simultaneously. Remember, RT is characterized by three main components: TEXT, THINKING ABOUT TEXT (comprehension), and TALKING ABOUT TEXT. Students at ALL grade levels can do it with your help.
