Which four comprehension strategies does reciprocal teaching originally include?

Reciprocal teaching builds reading comprehension through a collaborative routine in which students take turns guiding a discussion using four strategies that focus on meaning-making. Predicting taps into anticipating what will come next, which keeps readers actively engaged. Questioning invites students to raise questions about the text to surface areas of confusion and to probe deeper meaning. Clarifying targets vocab, tricky phrases, and unclear ideas so the text makes sense. Inferring moves beyond the literal words to interpret meaning, draw conclusions, and connect clues from the text with prior knowledge. This combination emphasizes constructing a thoughtful understanding of the text through dialogue, and in many explanations this four-fold set is described with inferring as the fourth component, highlighting how readers use clues to make justified interpretations.
