The Daily 5 Second Edition Updates Provided by Amy Williams Berrien RESA Published in 2006 Published in 2014
No longer do all 5 rounds We no longer plan to do all 5 rounds of Daily 5 each day At the beginning of the year you may start with 5 rounds but as the year continues you drop back from 5-4-3 so that students can experience the “READING FLOW” 3 rounds for those with less stamina or with younger students 2 rounds for those who can maintain longer independent work times
Read to Someone Gets Bumped Work on Writing is now the second to be introduced after Read to self Read to someone is often now last to be introduced
Non-negotiables Read to self and work on writing are non-negotiables Students can choose the order in which they do read to self or work on writing Students may make other choices as time allows
Word Work Reduced Students no longer do a full round of word work Students choosing to do word work set a timer for 10 minutes and when their time is up switch to another choice
Food for thought “Once we have introduced all the Daily 5 tasks and students have built independence- we no longer need an uninterrupted literacy block.” Share your thoughts with those sitting near you
The Sisters say… “The independence built by modeling and practice and the consistent structure of the focus lesson, check-in, and independent work time allows individual rounds of the Daily 5 to take place at ANY point during the day.”
I-Charts Expedited No more students brainstorming what the Daily 5 choice should look like, sound like, feel like Instead teacher records desirable behaviors on the I-chart in front of the students and briefly explains each one
Standards Based Check-in Instead of thumbs up, down, or to the side Students raise their fingers to communicate their personal success with behaviors; Below standard Approaching standard Meeting standard Exceeding standard
Foundational Lessons Since there is extra time when first introducing Daily 5- when students are still building their stamina- present ALL foundation mini lessons We teach foundation lessons to preempt behaviors that can stop students from being independent and building stamina
Foundational Lessons • Read to self foundation lessons • 3 ways to read a book • I-Pick Good Fit books • Choose a successful spot • Work on Writing foundation lessons • Underline words you don’t know how to spell and move on • Set up a notebook • Choose what to write about
Foundational Lessons • Read to someone foundation lessons • Check for understanding • EEKK • Voice level • How partners read • How to get started • Coaching or time • How to choose a partner
Foundational lessons • Listen to reading foundation lessons • Set up technology • Listen and follow along • Manage fair and equitable use with a limited number of devices • Word Work foundation lessons • Set up and clean up materials • Choose materials to use • Choose a successful spot
Novelty is not a Virtue The materials you begin the year with are the same materials you should end the year with You want the kinesthetic act of manipulating words to secure them in students’ long term memory- if you keep adding options- students will remain in the exploration phase
Graph Stamina Graph stamina with students after Daily 5 rounds each day This makes their progress visible and their goals tangible Set class goals to grow stamina daily
Ideas for today’s work sessions Craft a letter explaining Daily 5 and/or I-PICK to parents Create a “Donor’s Choose” account to grow your classroom library or classroom technology Consider how your beginning of the year next year will look different with no MEAP testing in the fall Locate websites for online reading- create a free website (Weebly) or Symbaloo board for easy student access Investigate how you will differentiate word work
Ideas for today’s work sessions Craft a letter explaining the Daily 5 to a guest teacher Other ideas? Let’s brainstorm for a few minutes at our tables about some projects we would like to work on today
