Reciprocal Teaching cards
These cards were very popular at the workshop. Here is the link to creating these cards. Reciprocal Teaching Cards
Here is another site that teachers can use.
Feel free to pass these cards onto all those that you think need a powerful reading comprehension strategy and encourage them to visit my site for a heap more resources.

This is how I use the strategy in my classroom.
Firstly I introduce the whole class to each of the skills in the process. This can take a couple of lessons to do well.
Then during group work I sit with a small group of children. I bring to the group the set of the cards, multiple copies of an INFORMATION TEXT, three different dictionaries, three atlases & paper for note taking. Recently I've been taken my laptop to the group and have both dictionary.com and the wikipedia.org open. These sites provide great opportunity to build into the sessions the areas of website credibility and website advertising awareness.
For the first few sessions I am the leader, but the children are aware that the skills that I demonstrate will help them work as an independent group in the future.
