Reciprocal Teaching: Book

Reciprocal Teaching has a lengthy history of success in schools around the world. Marie’s revised resource (2008) incorporates her knowledge and practical experience both as a Resource Teacher of Learning and Behaviour (RTLB) and classroom teacher of successfully working with students and teachers to improve reading comprehension for both primary and secondary school students.

‘Reciprocal Teaching-a Practical Approach to Improving Reading Comprehension Skills’ (2008) presents information, practical tips, strategies, ideas about resources and photocopiable pages in a user- friendly format. The combination provides evidence based research and importantly a ‘how to do it!’ step- by- step guide to Reciprocal Teaching in your classroom/school. It is easy to read, and implement as it is written from a teacher’s practical perspective.

“It is great to have a resource that actually gives us what we teachers need – information about the process but also an in-depth guide to the practical side of setting up Reciprocal Teaching groups in classes. I fully recommend this book for Resource Teachers of Learning and Behaviour and RT Lits; it is easy to follow and is very practical; highly recommended”.

“This resource is great; it answered all the questions that I was unsure of and made the process of introducing Reciprocal Teaching so much easier; I felt more confident using the approach with our struggling Year 10 students “
(Senco; Auckland Central)

“I have referenced this book so many times it is becoming dog-eared; it is written in an easy-to- follow way for the classroom teacher and I dip in and out of it as I need to. I fully recommend it to all teachers”
