The Daily 5 is a structured language arts program that helps students develop the daily habits of reading, writing, and working with peers that will lead to a lifetime of independent literacy.  The 5 elements that students participate in every day are:  Read to Self, Read with Someone (buddy reading), Listen to Reading, Word Work and Work on Writing. Our class is already practicing Read to Self and Read to Someone and will be adding the other elements one at a time over the next few weeks. Students are doing great at implementing the Daily 5 in our classroom!!
