Description

The article operationalises reciprocal teaching as a nine-step weekly cycle over 8 expository texts: explicit teaching of the four stages with a written prompt worksheet, teacher modelling by reading aloud and thinking aloud at the start of each week, gradual transfer of responsibility, small groups of 4-5 members, and rotating leader and participant roles. The leader manages discussion using prompt cards asking questions such as "What is the main idea of the text?" while participants fill in their own prompt cards, and the teacher circulates, gives feedback and takes the participant role in each group.
