This study examines the implementation, outcomes, facilitating and hindering factors, and research gaps of Reciprocal Teaching in reading instruction. A systematic literature review (SLR) followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines. We identified studies published between 2022 and 2026 through ERIC, ScienceDirect, and scholarly journal websites. We analyzed ten empirical studies using narrative-thematic synthesis and assessed methodological quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) 2018. The findings show that Reciprocal Teaching employs four main strategies: predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing, implemented through conventional and technology-supported instruction. Several studies reported positive reading comprehension outcomes, while another found no significant difference compared with a control group. Evidence of improvements in inferential and critical reading remains limited, whereas Internet Reciprocal Teaching extends reading activities to searching for and evaluating digital information. The findings highlight the importance of teacher scaffolding, learner characteristics, and technological readiness in implementation
