Student Grid for Practicing Reciprocal Teaching

Beginning: K-2
Decodable Texts

After some teacher modeling, reciprocal teaching (Palinscar and Brown, 1984) gives students the opportunity to take turns being the “teacher” in small groups or with a partner and guide the use of four thinking moves: summarizing, clarifying, questioning, and predicting. This tool is a one-page, reusable four-square grid that you can slide into a page protector to have students use again and again as they affix sticky notes to each square.
