  1. The Daily 5 Strategies for literacy independence

  2. The essential questions… • It’s literacy block time. Do you know what your children are doing? • Is what they’re doing helping them become better readers and writers? • Do you have time to work with small groups?

  3. How is Daily 5 (D5) different from centers? • Explicit teaching and practicing of behaviors until they are habits. • Only 5 tasks to master. • Students have internal locus of control. • Allows for teaching of focus lessons during the block • Students read, write & do word work for the entire block.

  4. Benefits of D5 to teachers • No “centers” to set up • No need to think of new centers • Less fatigue • More time to meet with small groups and individuals. • Allows for “intervention”

  5. Foundational beliefs • Students need to read and write in order to be better readers and writers. For research on this see the last page of your handout. • This is not a magic program, but a set of routines that can be adapted to fit your needs.

  6. Core assumptions • Teachers must • Trust students • Provide choice • Nurture community • Create a sense of urgency • Build stamina in students • Stay out of the students’ way once the routines are established.

  7. The Daily 5 • 1. Read to self • 2. Read to someone • 3. Listen to reading • 4. Work on writing • 5. Word work • Spelling, word sorts, making words

  8. Practicing • Make an I-chart • Provide a correct and incorrect model of behavior • Short periods of repeated practice • Check in at the end of the practice period, using the I-chart

  9. Read to Self For the youngest readers, you must demonstrate that there are 3 ways to read a book 1) Read the pictures 2) Read the words 3) Retell the story

  10. Video clips • Contents of a sample I-chart are in your notes.

  11. Read to Self I-chart • Students • Read the whole time • Stay in one spot • Read quietly • Work on stamina • Get started right away • Teacher Work with groups of students Listen to children read Help students with reading

  12. Read to someone I-chart • Students • Sit EEKK (elbow – elbow, knee – knee) • Use a soft voice • Read the whole time • Stay in one spot • Get started right away • Teacher work with students

  13. Listen to reading I-chart Get out materials Listen to the whole story May listen to another story if time Follow along with the pictures and words Stay in one spot Listen quietly Get started quickly Put materials away neatly

  14. Work on writing I-chart • Students • Write the whole time • Stay in one spot • Work quietly • Choice of what to write • Get started quickly • Underline words we’re not sure how to spell and move on.

  15. Word work I-chart • This will depend on what your word work consists of, but ideas to consider are how to access materials, how to put them away, and what product must be turned in. Also include the “regulars”: get started right away, work quietly, etc.
