Reciprocal Teaching: A Direct & Explicit Comprehension Strategy

In this webinar, Nicole Lord, ELA Virtual Learning Community leader and teacher at Fannin County High School, focuses on one “direct and explicit comprehension strategy” that has made an impact on her secondary learners: reciprocal teaching. Drawing on the evidence base from the “IES Practice Guide: Improving Adolescent Literacy: Effective Classroom and Intervention Practices,” Nicole delves into explaining this evidence-based practice. She shares several anecdotes, models the strategy, and provides practical resources for teachers. In addition to the protocols, Nicole shares a document from her lesson bank that participants can easily adapt for their classrooms.

Reciprocal teaching has the potential to empower students to read, comprehend, and analyze new texts of increasing complexity, with modeling has the key. For more information and resources, please join the 11-12 ELA Virtual Learning group in GaDOE Community!
