DAILY 5

Daily 5 is an important part of our class.

In order to become a better reader, there are 5 skills we work on EVERY DAY!

Read to Self

The best way to become a better reader is to practice reading every day, with books that are at your just-right reading level.

Partner Reading

Reading to someone allows you to practice reading strategies, helping you work on fluency and expression, check for understanding, and hearing your own voice.

Writing

Reading and writing go hand in hand. Daily practice of writing is the best way to become a better writer.

Word Work

The more you understand words and spelling patterns the more fluent a writer you become. With word work you practice spelling patterns, experiment with words, and memorize high-frequency words.

Listen to Reading

By listening to teacher read-alouds or books on tape kids can hear examples of good literature and fluent reading. We hear new words and expand our vocabulary.
