Download or read book Reciprocal Teaching at Work 3rd Edition written by Lori D. Oczkus and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fully revised and expanded third edition of the bestselling Reciprocal Teaching at Work, Lori D. Oczkus provides both tried-and-true and fresh solutions for teaching reading comprehension. Reciprocal teaching is a scaffolded discussion technique that builds on the Fab Four strategies that good readers use to understand text: predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing. With a focus on these four evidence-based and classroom-tested strategies, Oczkus presents new ways to use reciprocal teaching to improve students' comprehension while actively engaging them in learning and encouraging independence. Appealing to students and teachers alike, reciprocal teaching encompasses social aspects of teaching and learning with modeling, think-alouds, and discussion. This helpful guide is packed with fresh material, including * More than 40 new and updated step-by-step lessons and minilessons that reflect current thinking and best practice. * Dozens of rich suggestions for diving into informational texts. * Updated research and relevant results that show the effectiveness of reciprocal teaching. * Creative and targeted tips that capitalize on the specific benefits of whole-class settings, guided reading groups, and literature circles. * Ideas for differentiating instruction for struggling readers and English language learners. * New and newly designed support materials, including reproducibles, posters, bookmarks, and a lesson planning menu. With a wealth of ideas to get you started—and keep you going—this is the all-inclusive resource you need to help students become active, engaged, and independent readers who truly comprehend what they read. Reviews and Testimonials "Literacy coach and author Lori Oczkus knows how to take the best of what works from long-established research and showcase it to make teaching and learning more effective, engaging, and enjoyable. In her latest edition of Reciprocal Teaching at Work, she demonstrates how to scaffold instruction so that all K–12 students can benefit from reciprocal teaching techniques, what she calls the "Fab Four"—predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing—in whole-group, guided reading, and book club settings, for both fiction and informational texts. In clearly delineated lessons and minilessons, Lori deftly shares how to support students' learning, including English language learners and students who struggle, so they can successfully apply and monitor those four discussion strategies—as well as troubleshoot problems—to yield significant progress in their reading comprehension. Filled with great practical ideas, this gem of a book is a must-have for all literacy educators!" —Regie Routman, author of Read, Write, Lead; Literacy Essentials, and Reading Essentials "Reciprocal teaching works to push students into deeper learning. There are decades of research on the impact of this instructional approach, and this book shows you how to implement and refine the practice such that all students succeed." —Doug Fisher, author of Checking for Understanding and Visible Learning for Literacy "One of the great instructional research discoveries of the past three decades has been the efficacy of reciprocal teaching for improving student learning and reading comprehension. More than anyone, Lori Oczkus has explored practical ways for making reciprocal teaching an integral part of nearly any classroom setting. This current work by Lori represents the epitome of her work in translating reciprocal teaching research into practice. Readers will find this immensely readable book filled with strategies that can be easily implemented and that will improve student learning. If you are interested in improving your students' reading achievement, you need to read this book!" —Timothy Rasinski, author of The Fluent Reader and Close Reading with Paired Texts "In this new edition of Reciprocal Teaching at Work, Lori Oczkus offers new thinking while reinforcing the best practices that make her ideas timeless. Through these engaging lessons and smart instructional moves, you will empower your students to build the confidence and competence they need to become strong, independent readers." —Donalyn Miller, author of The Book Whisperer "On every page of this book, in every activity and plan, the voice of a gifted and empowering teacher inspires the reader. In a major revision of her classic work, Lori Oczkus engages the immediacy and demands of today's classrooms with the most robust constellation of strategies for teaching comprehension. She compellingly demonstrates how the "Fab Four" are engaged across the grades, and she powerfully scaffolds, supports, and reassures teachers in their efforts to incorporate reciprocal teaching across a broad communication, textual, and digital terrain." —Shane Templeton, Foundation Professor Emeritus of Literacy Studies University of Nevada, Reno, NV

Book Comprehension  Grades K 12

Download or read book Comprehension Grades K 12 written by Douglas Fisher and published by Corwin. This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radically change the way students learn from texts, extending beyond comprehension to critical reasoning and problem solving. Is your reading comprehension instruction just a pile of strategies? There is no evidence that teaching one strategy at a time, especially with pieces of text that require that readers use a variety of strategies to successfully negotiate meaning, is effective. And how can we extend comprehension beyond simple meaning? Bestselling authors Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and Nicole Law propose a new, comprehensive model of reading instruction that goes beyond teaching skills to fostering engagement and motivation. Using a structured, three-pronged approach—skill, will, and thrill—students learn to experience reading as a purposeful act and embrace struggle as a natural part of the reading process. Instruction occurs in three phases: Skill. Holistically developing skills and strategies necessary for students to comprehend text, such as monitoring, predicting, summarizing, questioning, and inferring. Will. Creating the mindsets, motivations, and habits, including goal setting and choice, necessary for students to engage fully with texts. Thrill. Fostering the thrill of comprehension, so that students share their thinking with others or use their knowledge for something else. Comprehension is the structured framework you need to empower students to comprehend text and take action in the world.

Abstract: iii ABSTRACT Abstract of dissertation entitled: Reciprocal Teaching to improve English reading comprehension of a group of Form 3 students in Hong Kong submitted by Leung Won Gay for the degree of Master of Education at the University of Hong Kong August, 2005 The study examined the effects of reciprocal teaching on improving a group of Hong Kong Form 3 students' English reading comprehension. Seventy Form three students from a local Chinese-medium secondary school took part in the study. The participants were divided into two groups, i.e., the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group received reciprocal teaching instruction on both narrative and expository texts, viz.: instructions and activities developed by the researcher for training students reading strategies including predicting, questioning, clarifying and summarizing. There were altogether six 70-minute reciprocal teaching reading lessons. The control group, on the other hand, received no treatment but conventional method of reading instruction. A pretest-posttest design was used to measure the gains students made due to the reciprocal teaching instruction. A questionnaire was administered to the experimental group before and after the treatment in order to see if there were iv any changes in their perceived use of reading strategies and to elicit their opinions of reciprocal teaching. The results of the study showed that the experimental group made gains over the control group in some categories of test-items and the overall results of the post-tests. However, no significant differences were found in the students' perceived use of reading strategies. The study demonstrated that reciprocal teaching instruction has positive effects on improving students' reading performance in both narrative and expository texts, but it takes time for them to integrate comprehension strategies into their reading strategy repertoire. It also found that the effectiveness of reciprocal teaching depends on a number of factors such as teacher instruction, the readiness of the students and their degree of involvement in group discussions. In light of the present study, explicit strategy training before reciprocal teaching appears to be an effective reading instruction for students in large class settings as the ones in Hong Kong.

Book Non native Speakers Reach Higher Ground

Download or read book Non native Speakers Reach Higher Ground written by Ana Leonor Armbrister and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "English Language Learners are an ever-growing population in public school systems today. Consequently, the policies and procedures that schools are required to adhere to are not limited to language minority students. In order for teachers to meet the needs of English Language Learning students, they need to address their student's whole educational experience -- on an academic and social level. The integrated teaching of language and content is not only beneficial for language learning students, but it is also necessary for the students' overall success in school. Moreover, the collaborative reading strategy of reciprocal teaching allows students to develop their academic and social skills through cognitive techniques. Reciprocal teaching involves four comprehension strategies that the students engage in while reading. By summarizing, questioning, clarifying, and predicting the students are actively participating in the analysis and verbal discussion of the text in order to understand what is being read. This highly effective technique for teaching students cognitive strategies that lead to improved development of their reading comprehension are directly paralleled to the four strategies of reciprocal teaching. Furthermore, application of these comprehension strategies were modeled and scaffolded prior to shifting the responsibility to the students on an independent level through use of various medias of text. The impact of reciprocal teaching's effect on English Language Learner's reading comprehension at the intermediate level has not been investigated fully. However, this study provides the field of education with an added research that will support student participation, development, and application of essential reading strategies. This grounded theory research measured a collaborative reading strategy's effects on language learning students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades at a rural county intermediate elementary school. The results of this study demonstrated the positive effects on the reading comprehension of English Language Learners as a result of the introduction, study, and practice of reciprocal teaching. Improvement in student performance produced self-sufficient and confident second language learning readers. The strategies delineated in this collaborative reading approach proved successful with students in a rural intermediate elementary school in north central Florida."--Pages i-ii.
