As to reciprocal reading type strategies -- one school in our district had this experience. They'd been workshopping etc. re a bunch of comprehension strategies and doing them with their kids, but found 'drop off' as to teachers' remembering to stick with it over the weeks, etc. So they decided as a staff to pick *just one* of these strategies (think it was SQ3R). Each teacher pushed this strategy over and over, in subject areas where applicable. Teachers a couple months later then noticed -- students would actually say, "are we going to SQ3R this?" In short, kids were independently remembering the strategy.
I thought it was really worthwhile that they had picked "just one" -- many of our students aren't so quick and flexible in their thinking, and the repetition really builds it in.
