Daily 5 A management structure that can help “fit it all in”
What is and is not Daily 5? • Daily 5 is not a program, centers that change every week, stations filled with busywork or play time • Daily 5 is: • Management structure that provides time to differentiate instruction • Whole group lessons • Small group “strategy” lessons • Conferring time for individual needs • Supports independence in reading and writing • Provides ownership in learning through choice
How Can This Fit in My Classroom? • Tailored between K – 6 classrooms (can be “Daily 2, 3 or 4”)
Wait… Does Work on Writing Replace Writing Workshop?? • NO!!! • Separate Writing Workshop Block • What is Work on Writing for? • Providing Choice and Creativity on topic and genre • Cards, letters, emails, sequential stories, comic strips, etc. • Can extend time from Writing Workshop, too!
How Does Research Support Daily 5? • Read to Self: • Reading Just Right Books (texts matched with each child at 99% accuracy) daily for 60+ minutes • Read to Someone: • Time to practice strategies, fluency, retelling and comprehension • Work on Writing: • Choice outside of writing workshop, time to develop skills, reading response, handwriting • Listen to Reading (younger readers): • Time to listen to fluent reading and expands vocabulary • Word Work: • Fluency in writing, Sitton Spelling, Words Their Way, etc…
Daily 5: Choice! • Choice is highly motivational • Kids in charge of learning • RegieRoutman suggests: • Demonstrating, teaching, guiding, monitoring, evaluating and goal setting by teacher along with choice in reading books provides an environment for reading success • Heart of choice and effective teaching and learning : • Knowing expectations, gaining skills and taking responsibility
Basic Structure • 1st Mini - Lesson (Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency or Expanding Vocabulary) • 10 – 15 minutes of modeled/shared instruction • 20 – 45 minutes independent choice • Teacher: small groups, individual conferences • 2nd Mini-Lesson(Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency or Vocabulary) • 10 – 15 minutes of modeled/shared instruction • 20 -45 minutes independent choice • Teacher: small groups, individual conferences • 3rd Mini-Lesson (Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency or Vocabulary) • minutes independent choice • Teacher: small groups, individual conferences • 10 – 15 minutes of modeled/shared instruction • 20 – 45 minutes independent choice
Mini-Lessons • Mini-Lessons are a “menu of strategies” aka CAFÉ menu • Can be used in any order depending on studentneeds ****Daily 5 is the management structure whereas CAFÉ is the lessons to be plugged in based on comprehension, accuracy, fluency or expanding vocabulary****
Sounds intriguing but… • Do I have to start it at the beginning of the year? • No! • Do I have to go in order? • No! It is recommended that 3 or 4 – 5 just focus on reading and writing as choices • K – 2 or K – 3 is recommended to teach read to self and work on writing first then it is up to teacher • Are there materials to buy? • No!
But still…Will it fit? • How Daily 2, Daily 3 or Daily 4 fits in your classroom is up to you • Maintain integrity of fostering independent readers and writers • RTI time can be a round of D5 • Example: In First Grade we have a half hour of RTI time and so I teach a “bonus” lesson for higher readers/writers and then give them that choice…RTI children are marked with “Literacy Special” as choice
Other Things to Consider • Conferring Notebook can also hold small group lesson planner, assessments, observations, etc. for easy access at benchmark meetings and conferences • I can help you set it up based on what D5 suggests • This is a way to help teachers fit in all the curriculum we are required to fit in and a way for organized record keeping, assessments, etc.
