What is the Daily 5 It’s a 5 Component framework to help developing literacy skills: ● Read to self ● Read to someone ● Listen to reading ● Work on writing ● Word work

How does it works? The components of the Daily 5 ● Help teachers keep students focused on literacy ● Gives students the chance to be independent in their choices and have some ownership over their education

I PICK ● Children start by learning to “pick” a book ● I choose a book ● Purpose-why do I want to read it ● Interest- Does it interest me? ● Comprehend- Am I understanding what I am reading? ● Know-I know most of the words

Read to Self The first component of the Daily 5 is Read to Self or independent reading ● Students learn to choose books that are “good fit”; that is books that are not too hard, nor too easy. ● It’s also important that students spend time reading independently books that are of interest to them

Read to Someone ● Read to someone is when a pair of students share reading time with each other. ● One student will read while the other checks for understanding

Listen to Reading ● A listening station in an elementary classroom is a must. It allows children the chance to listen to reading and hear what fluent reading sounds like ● It also allows students the opportunity to hear new vocabulary and to be xposed to a variety of genres.

Work on Writing ● Writing is one of the most important components of literacy development: thus the Daily 5 writing offers children the opportunity to practice these skills regularly. ● Writing might consist of writing in a journal, drawing or labeling a picture story.

Word Work Word work consists of developing spelling and language skills. Students might be using: ● Letters and flash cards to make words ● Stamps to review spelling words ● Magnetic letters to spell target words, etc…

Daily 5 & Cafe Café is an acronym for ● Comprehension ● Accuracy ● Fluency, and ● Expanding Vocabulary

How it Works The framework includes: ● goal-setting with students ● posting of goals ● developing small group instruction ● targeting whole-class instruction based on emerging student needs and fine tuning one on one conferring.

Daily 5 in Action!

Check for Understanding Ask your child the following questions: ● Who did you just read about? ● What just happened? ● Was your brain talking to you while you read? ● Do you understand what was read? ● What do you do if you don’t remember?
