Two Sisters, Gail Boushey & Joan Moser, co- authored the book, “The Daily 5: Fostering Literacy Independence in the Elementary Grades.”

Student-driven management structure designed to create routines for student independence.

Fully engages students in reading and writing.

Incorporates five literacy tasks to ensure balanced literacy approach.

What is the Daily 5?

Page 3: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Productive approach that encourages independent literacy centers.

Allows teachers to facilitate guided reading and remediate students.

Less worksheets and more hands-on learning.

Encourages love of reading!

How is it Different?

Page 4: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

The Daily 5 is nothing new.

Similar to literacy centers – different names

but designed to be more independent.

No need to reorganize, just

restructure.

Your room is fine just the way it is!

The first step in the Daily 5

Foundation for creating independent readers and writers

Start small and build as you go

Why – To become a better reader

Builds stamina and muscle memory

Read to Self

Page 9: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Helps students learn to collaborate and be

flexible.

Desired behavior - EEKK: Elbow to Elbow, Knee to Knee, I’ll read to you; you’ll read to me.

I Read, You Read (improves fluency).

•Choral Reading (supports challenged readers).

Read to Someone

Page 10: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Provides “lap time” that many children miss out on.

Provides auditory support of being read to.

Books on tape, CD, or websites are great resources.

Headphones can be tricky.

Listen to Reading

Page 11: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Provides writing practice and intense focused instruction through small, guided groups.

Sustained writing of students’ choice – writing that matters to them.

Encourage “stretching” words.

Handwriting could be included.

Work on Writing

Page 12: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Word Work

Focus on spelling and vocabulary work.

Experiment with words for learning, practicing spelling patterns, and memorizing sight words.

Tubs clearly labeled with words and pictures and filled with goodies like wikki sticks, magnetic letters, fancy pens, word lists, etc.

• Make it independent and fun!

Page 13: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Launching Daily 5Start slowly and patiently!

Prepare a “book box” for each student and fill with class-made, emergent, and leveled readers.

Organize classroom library.

Allows students to choose & return

books easily.

• Release responsibility gradually.

Launching Daily 5

Work with students to describe a new skill or behavior; use I-charts.

Model it, practice it, talk about the skill again, and repeat the practice.

Discuss until behavior becomes a habit.

Page 18: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Day One

Establish a gathering place.

Teach children to respond to a signal so they know when it is time to check-in.

Create Sense of Urgency for Read to Self.

Example – Read “How Rocket Learned to Read” by Tad Hills. Discuss excitedly that they are ready to read.

Page 19: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Day One (Continued)

Brainstorm Read-to-Self behaviors and write ideas on an I-Chart.

Have 1 – 3 students model appropriate Read-to-Self behaviors.

Have 1 – 2 students model inappropriate behaviors; then have them model correct behaviors.

Have a three-minute practice period.

Check in to encourage self-reflection. Thumbs up in front of hearts signal independence and success; a thumb sideways means they could do better.

Page 20: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Day TwoRead the class’ favorite picture, easy reader.

Example – Read “Pete the Cat” by Eric Litwin.

Next, just read the pictures. Then, retell the story.

Brainstorm and make an I-Chart forthe three ways to read a book.

Have a three-minute practice period.

Check-in to reflect.

Page 21: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Day ThreeIntroduce Stamina & Muscle Memory.

--behavioral habits

Example – Read “DEX the Heart of a Hero” by Caralyn Buehner.

Talk about how Dex had to build his exercising stamina to become stronger.

It’s hard but keep trying – it takes time!

Page 22: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Day Three (Continued)

Review I-Charts - Read to Self & 3 Ways to Reada Book.

Have students model good & not so good behavior.

YAY – It’s time to start building stamina!

Might only be for a minute or two.

Return to gathering place to check-in for self-reflection.

Page 23: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Day Four and BeyondReview I-charts daily to help make thinking permanent and visible.

Continue to Read to Self and build stamina.

Add a minute or two each day. Let kiddos go as long as proper behaviors are displayed.

Enjoy – you’ve made it!

Page 24: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Introducing other Components Once you have reached your stamina goal for Read to Self, add another component.

Brainstorm and make an I-Chart. Practice and build stamina.

Eventually, incorporate into Literacy Centers.

Take it slowly - It’s okay if you just choose to Read to Self!

Page 25: Marge Finan  Woodland Heights Elementary

Daily 5 Literacy Centers

Do what works and is comfortable for you!

Will students know where to go and what to do?

Probably not at first – be patient, it takes time.

You will need to direct them while encouraging independent learning.

Check-in and reflect – you made it!
