Product Description:
Do you love teaching but feel exhausted from the energy you expend cajoling, disciplining, and directing students on a daily basis?If so, you'll want to meet “The Sisters”, Gail Boushey and Joan Moser.Based on literacy learning and motivation research, they created a structure called The Daily Five which has been practiced and refined in their own classrooms for ten years, and shared with thousands of teachers throughout the United States. The Daily Five is a series of literacy tasks (reading to self, reading with someone, writing, word work, and listening to reading) which students complete daily while the teacher meets with small groups or confers with individuals.
This book not only explains the philosophy behind the structure, but shows you how to carefully and systematically train your students to participate in each of the five components.
Explicit modeling practice, reflecting and refining take place during the launching phase, preparing the foundation for a year of meaningful content instruction tailored to meet the needs of each child.
The Daily Five is more than a management system or a curriculum framework; it is a structure that will help students develop the habits that lead to a lifetime of independent literacy.

Rating: - If you don't like "busy work" this is the book for you
I always hated giving out 'packets' or busy work to kids while I worked with small groups and this book has a nice way of dealing with that!I am a strong believer in if you want to be a good reader you have to read, read, read and if you want to be a good writer you have to write, write, write, and this book gave me tools to set up a workable independence in my students.
Rating: - Finally, a realistic resource for daily use in the classroom!
I bought this book last May, in hopes of implementing this school year (2008/2009). Despite some earlyand long lasting bumps in the road due to the personalities in my classroom, the Daily 5 has really helped my students.
Like anything you try as a teacher, be willing to make this your own and be patient. Many of my students had stamina issues. To make a go of it, we spent a long time just doing "Read to Self"and I gradually let students do "Read to Someone" as they showed they were ready ... Read More
