Reciprocal Teaching
.74 effect size, Hattie
"Reciprocal teaching is a 4-step, close reading strategy that uses the cognitive tools of: 1) Predict, 2) Clarify, 3) Question, and 4) Summarize. Critical to the success of this strategy is that the teacher spends time modeling each of these steps before students work through them on their own. As they do, the teacher must remain hands-on, guiding students and offering feedback and clarification." Bold School, Kieschnick, p. 163
