Accordingly, for the improvement of the students' reading comprehension ability, the implementation of an appropriate technique in teaching reading is urgently needed. Reciprocal Teaching Technique with its four strategies: predicting, clarifying, questioning, and summarizing, therefore, is applied to cope with their problems in reading comprehension.
