October Happenings
Daily 5
It won't be long until you hear your child talking about "The Daily 5!" I am very excited about it, and I know they will be too.
The Daily 5 is a way of structuring the reading block so that every student is independently engaged in meaningful literacy tasks. These research based tasks are designed to have the biggest effect on student reading and writing achievement. Students are given practice time to read and write independently, while I am able to provide focused instruction to guided reading groups and individuals.
The Daily 5 is made up of: read to self, work on writing, read to someone, listen to reading, and word work. We will spend the first weeks working intensely on building our reading and writing stamina. I will also spend time learning about your child's strengths and greatest needs as a reader in order to plan for each student's instruction.
I am really excited about giving your child the opportunity to be involved in the Daily 5!
