ALT Reciprocal reading graphic with information on the three roles of predictor, clarifier, and summarizer. Reciprocal teaching is a highly effective instructional practice. According to John Hattie, it is one of the best strategies because of its high effect size on learning. Reciprocal teaching promotes engagement, comprehension, and metacognition, but another HUGE benefit of reciprocal teaching is that it shifts a learning experience from teacher-centered to learner-centered. Reciprocal teaching involves prediction, clarifying, questioning, and summarizing. However, this ML-friendly reciprocal reading format has been modified by removing the questioning role and adding prompts and language frames. This modified version provide more air time and linguistic support. Quality questions could be created in a small group after navigating the test- or as a whole class after this ML-friendly version of reciprocal teaching.
