Additional Daily Five, The Information
|
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.

What Customers Say About Daily Five, The:

SO glad we read it. This is a wonderful way to engage children in reading. I love it as does my teaching partner.
I implemented strategies immediately in my 1st grade classroom and the suggestions in this book are working very well. I would highly recommend this book. It is a straight forward guide for teaching reading in the classroom.
My students are much more on-task and quiet during literacy work times. I don't believe the information is new, it is just laid out in a consise, reader friendly manner. The "first 25 days" quidelines have been invaluable for lesson planning and getting my school year off to a successful start. My district has used a reading and writing workshop approach for at least ten years. This book has truly helped me to step back and take the time needed at the beginning of the year to establish strong routines.
I highly recommend this book to all elementary school teachers. It also helps the students work independently without teacher support. This book is a great way to introduce literacy activities to a class. It helps the teacher and students become comfortable with reading and writing.
Even if your school has a set idea of how Language Arts/Reading periods should look, there are some fabulous theories and strategies that can be implemented. This is one of the few education books that I really looked forward to reading and learning more about the philosophy.
