  2. What is the Daily 5? A way of structuring reading instruction so that every student is engaged in meaningful literacy tasks. Students receive explicit whole group instruction and then are given independent practice time to read and write independently while the teacher provides focused instruction to individuals and small groups.

  3. What is the Daily 5? – Cont. • When it is up and running, students will be engaged in the following activities: • Read to Self • Work on Writing • Read to Someone • Word Work • Listen to Reading

  4. What Does it Look Like Each Day? We will have three to four literacy-based mini-lessons each day followed by student independent work time where students choose and cycle through Daily Five activities and works independently while the teacher meets with individuals and small groups on Guided Reading, Guided Writing, Assessment and/or conferring.

  5. Mini-Lessons • Only 5-7 minutes in length • Explicit instruction in the areas of: • Phonemic awareness • Phonics • Sight words • Comprehension • Concepts of Print

  6. Read to Self • Teach students the three ways to read a book: • Read the pictures • Retell a story you already know • Read the words • Combination of books kids choose themselves and books at their reading level.

  7. Read to Someone Students love having the chance to share a book with a friend. We practice how to help a friend who is stuck on a word and how to ask questions about the books we are reading to further comprehension.

  8. Listening to Reading Students will be engaged in listening to a variety of stories on mp3s, iPad, tape player, and the computer. This allows students to listen to stories that they may not be able to read but their minds are ready to comprehend. It also allows them to build their fluency by listening to proper fluency being modeled.

  9. Work on Writing • You can have a separate Writer’s Workshop, but during Daily Five, students have total choice on the format of their writing, such as … • writing letters • making books • journaling

  10. Word Work • Practice sight words in a variety of hands-on applications, such as, • Letter stamps • Tracers • Play-doh • Pipe-cleaners • Individualized based words each child needs to practice, taken from their spelling instruction.

  11. Beginning the Daily 5 In order to teach students the independence needed for this program, the first few weeks are spent on building reading and writing stamina, learning the behaviors of Daily 5, creating a sense of urgency, and fostering a classroom community.

  12. Building Stamina Much like exercising our bodies, students can not be expected to independently read or write for 20-30 minutes right away. We begin with just 3 minutes a day, so everyone can be successful and build up to the recommended 30+ minutes. We chart our progress, and our kids are excited to see their stamina grow!

  13. Creating a Sense of Urgency We all want to know why we have to do something, and no one wants to hear “because you have to”. We explain the importance of each of the task and often refer to the value of practicing reading and writing. Establishes motivation and on-task behavior.

  14. Fostering Community Begins with getting to know each other and valuing each person’s contributions. Helps students hold each other accountable for behaviors, learning, effort, and kindness. We celebrate each individual’s accomplishments.

  15. Benefits of Daily 5 • Children cannot become better readers and develop a love for reading without having time to actually read and write. • Providing choice is highly motivational and puts kids in charge of their learning. • Students have lots of individualized time with the teacher and help develop their own goals to work on independently. • Provides structure, short intervals of repeated practice, and time to explore – exactly what children this age need!

  16. Guided Reading While students are independently engaged completing their literacy tasks, you meet with small groups and conference with individual students.

  17. CAFE CAFE is the reading strategy menu the children use to guide their learning during the Daily 5 literacy block.

  18. CAFÉ is an acronym for the four major components of reading C is for Comprehension A is for Accuracy F is for Fluency E is for Expanding vocabulary

  19. CAFÉ Reading Strategies The children will learn reading strategies within each category. These strategies will become the keys the children use to become successful readers and writers.
