In this Webinar

Many students decode what they read, but they don't comprehend it. Reciprocal teaching strategies (Palincsar & Brown, 1984)—also known as the Fabulous Four (Oczkus, 2010) predict, question, clarify, and summarize work as a powerful package to begin to yield results in reading comprehension in the first 15 days. Many students accelerate one grade level in reading in just three to six months and up to .74 in one year (Hattie, 2008).
