This document discusses collaborative strategic reading (CSR), a reading comprehension strategy that combines elements of reciprocal teaching and cooperative learning. CSR involves students working in small groups to apply four reading strategies: preview, click and clunk, get the gist, and wrap up. The strategies aim to improve comprehension by engaging students before, during, and after reading. CSR has been shown to benefit students across achievement levels. Initially, the teacher models the strategies, then students work collaboratively in groups to apply the strategies to content area texts.
