The Daily 5

I am taking a graduate class that has introduced me to something called "The Daily 5."  The Daily 5 includes 5 independent literacy activities that can be done during Guided Reading while I work with kids.  The students have been really interested in it and, today, we finished learning about all 5.  The students have choice, but that choice is based on trust.  You can visit with your child about what each of these are, and why we do them.

  • Read to Someone
  • Listen to Reading
