Reciprocal Reading StrategyReciprocal reading is a way to share reading in a group.Each member of the group has a responsibility for a

different aspect of reading the text.

The group roles are:

Summarizer

Questioner

Clarifier

Predictor


6/19

Predictor

You will tell the group what you think you will read

about next. What is the writer/text going to say

next? Preview the section and think about the

main ideas (look at the text features, chapterquestions, etc). Consider topics you think will be

covered and key vocabulary you might expect to

come across. Share your predictions first and then

encourage all group members to add theirpredictions with reasons for them.


7/19

Summarizer

You will write a summary of the most important

information from the reading. You need to be able to

explain the reading in two or three sentences. Thinkabout the main ideas and the most important details.

Use the text features e.g. headings, bold print etc. to

help you create a strong summary. Think like the

writer and try to figure out what they wanted to tellyou. The group can help you if you get stuck or if they

think you forgot something.


8/19

Questioner

You will ask questions about the reading. You

could ask on-thesurface questions- who, what,

when, or where. Or you could ask Under-the-

surface questions- why, how, should, could, orwould. Work with the group to decide where the

answer to these questions might bein the

reading, in the clues, in another source, or in the

readers mind. Make sure the group attempts toanswer all the questions.


9/19

Clarifier

You will first ask the group to help you clarify any

words or ideas they did not understand.

You will then ask anyone in the group if they needany words or ideas clarified. Work with the group

to determine meanings of unknown vocabulary or

unclear ideas. Make sure the group feels

comfortable asking for clarification. It is your job toask the teacher to explain anything you are still not

sure about.
