Far too often, reciprocal teaching task cards are based on literature, and stories. Use these task cards for any subject where students are using informational text to predict, question, summarize, and clarify. Task cards list job descriptions for all for reciprocal teaching tasks, as well as things to think about when performing those jobs, and how to format their answers. All you need to do is print out the task cards, cut them out, and laminate for each group.
