The Daily 5 Will ensure that all children are working at
their level of challenge while taking responsibility for their learning and behavior.
Will provide meaningful instruction blocks. The Daily Five-(we are only using four) is a
series of literacy tasks (reading to self, reading with someone, writing, and word work) which students complete daily while the teacher meets with small groups or confers with individuals.
The Daily Five is a structure that will help students develop the daily habits of reading, writing, and working with peers that will lead to a lifetime of independent literacy.
