Daily 5 is the reading and writing program implemented in my classroom.

Daily 5 is the structure we will use to plan our afternoon. Children will be busy completing meaningful literacy tasks. The choices will be:

• Read to self
• Work on writing
• Word Work
• Listen to reading
• Read to Someone                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   First, we will  focus on increasing our stamina to work independently during Read to Self. Within the next few months, the other choices will be introduced. While the students are completing their literacy tasks, I will be meeting with small groups and conferencing with individual students.  Daily 5 is how we schedule our language block.
