The 21st century is the knowledge economic era decided by brains. Reading is the sole tactic to rapidly accumulate knowledge and effectively absorb others’ research results. The level of reading ability is closely related to individual future learning and employment and even economic development. A competitive nation nowadays would invest large amount of resources and plans in reading. Students could broadly absorb distinct knowledge through reading to make up inadequate teaching hours of teachers, i.e. entering the time, space, and culture in books through reading, without which people could merely live in personal time and space. With experimental design model to precede the quasi-experimental study, total 216 elementary school students in Jiangsu, as the research objects, are preceded the 16-week (3 hours per week for total 48 hours) digital media integrated reciprocal teaching. The research results show that digital media integrated reciprocal teaching would affect reading ability, digital media integrated reciprocal teaching would affect reading motivation, and reading ability reveals significantly positive effects on reading motivation. According to the results, suggestions are proposed, expecting to apply previously mentioned reciprocal teaching principles to readers’ animation design, to cultivate students’ learning strategy through “man”-“machine” interaction, and to enhance reading comprehension.
