Reciprocal Reading

We used Reciprocal Reading to help us read the text Maori Pioneer Battalion.

First we decided who the leader will be. The leader is the person who assigns the roles to the group and introduces the text.

After we decided who the predictor would be. The predictor scans the section of text that you are about to read and predictits what the next page will be about. 

We decided who the clarifier would be the the clarifier identifys tricky words, pharses, or ideas and shares them with the group.

Then we decided who the questioner would be. The questioner asks questions about the text and encorages group members to elaborate on their answers and give evidence.

Lastly we decided who the summeriser would be. The summeriser thinks of the main ideas in the section you just read.
