About Daily 5
Daily 5 is the structure we use to plan our morning. Children will be busy completing meaningful literacy tasks:
-Read to Self
-Word Work
-Work on Writing
While the students are engaged in their literacy choices, I will be teaching small groups and individuals, so everyone can get the just-in-time instruction they need to reach their potential. CAFE is what we study during the Daily 5 time. CAFE is an acronym for the four major components of reading:
-C for Comprehension
-A for Accuracy
-F for Fluency
-E for Expanding Vocabulary
Your child will learn reading strategies within each category. These strategies will become tools that help them become better readers and writers.
