The Daily Five

The Daily 5 is a program that the students and I have began using for our morning reading centers.  The stations allow us to focus on different phonics skills we are working on that week.  We also work on writing, spelling, working on words,  and reading strategies.  The Daily 5 is made up of five center choices which are: Word Work, Read to Self, Read to Someone, Writing, and Listening.  Of those five choices, students decide on three centers they would like to go to each day.  The students and I have practiced each station and made charts that hang in front of the room.  For more information:   http://www.thedailycafe.com/   and click on the Daily 5.
