Reciprocal Teaching is a structure that involves dialogue between teachers and students about segments/chunks of text. RT is characterized by three main components: TEXT, THINKING ABOUT TEXT (comprehension), and TALKING ABOUT 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.
