What You’ll Get:

Reciprocal Reading – Introduction Pack

Start strong by introducing students to the five core roles of Reciprocal Reading:

• Leader
• Predictor
• Clarifier
• Summariser (Summarizer also included)
• Questioner

This pack includes:

• Role Posters with clear definitions
• Jigsaw Tasks that explore each role through title, definition, and description
• Interactive Notebook Pages that ask: What is it? What do I need to do? What do I need?
• Bookmarks in black and white (ready for students to color) and color versions for quick reference
• Role Recording Booklet that keeps all shared text notes in one place—ideal for tracking comprehension and promoting accountability

Use this pack to build student confidence and prepare them for more independent text discussions.
