Reciprocal teaching is an instructional method that involves guided practice of reading comprehension using four concrete steps: paraphrasing, questioning, clarifying, and predicting. The teacher's role is to model, scaffold, and provide feedback to help students understand the material. Students take turns leading discussions with their peers, asking questions, and summarizing the key points. The goal is to increase student interaction and engagement with texts through collaborative discussion. Teachers are advised to clearly explain the purpose of reciprocal teaching and not to give up if initial attempts are unsuccessful.
