Reciprocal Teaching Sites


San Diego County Office of Eduation

This site loads quickly and is also in a question/answer format. Itprovides some basic background for reciprocal teaching and a section onthe support that teachers need to start and continue this strategy. Itdoes mention a digest that teachers should have that includes graphicorganizers for the components of reciprocal teaching, I was unable tolocate the specific name of that digest. It did list other sources thatmay be used. It was posted in 1995 but the information is consistentwith the other sites reviewed.

North Central Regional Educational Laboratory

This site loads quickly and starts with the definition and purpose ofreciprocal teaching. It lists the components and defines them as well.It does give a little information about a study conducted in 1985 andthe favorable results from that study. There is a contact person listedalong with references for information used.

Wright Group McGraw-Hill

This site addresses the key concepts of reciprocal reading in bulletedform and has an outline for how to conduct a reciprocal teaching group.The definition of literal questioning and inferential questioning wouldbe especially helpful to have in order to teach students about the typeof questioning they need to do in their groups. The site loads quickly,was last updated in 2000 and reflects similar information from othersites on reciprocal reading.

New Zealand Ministry of Education

Thisis a quick loading, current(March 2002),bulleted resource. It does nothave a step-by-step activity on how to implement this strategy, but hastroubleshooting ideas and administration tips embedded in the site.

Michigan State University

It is an efficient site with well referenced general information onreciprocal teaching. The teaching tips, though not extensive, would beespecially helpful for someone just implementing the strategy. The factthat the site includes what thoughtful readers do, is a good reminderof what effective readers should look like. The information used isconsistent with the other sites reviewed.

TEAMS Distance Learning

Thissite is intended for use by teachers of grades 2-3. It has cards thatcan be duplicated for students to fill in that allow them to walkstep-by-step through the components of reciprocal reading and recordinformation from their group discussion. As a guide in the initialimplementation of reciprocal teaching it would be valuable for allstudents. Obviously the educator would want to create a moresophisticated version of the cards as the students become proficient atconducting reciprocal teaching groups.
