__Overview of chapter 3__
“Many ideas for leading students in reciprocal teaching discussions in guided reading groups are given in chapter 3. These teacher-led, small-group lessons can be the training ground for students’ transfer to literature circles. The chapter includes a variety of suggestions for the use of graphic organizers, cooperative learning, fiction and nonfiction text strategies, and K-W-L lessons and ideas for teaching work analysis. In addition, intervention lesson ideas for struggling students are provided, along with suggestions for a creative intervention plan that involves moving the struggling students from reciprocal teaching in guided reading into leadership positions in literature circles.” (page 9, Oczkus)
