Daily 5 is a literacy framework developed to foster independent reading and writing skills. Daily 5 is based around 5 components of literacy. They are read to self, read to someone, listen to reading, word work and work on writing. Strategies are taught in each area to allow students to become independent readers and writers. Students are taught to pick good fit books to ensure they are reading at their independent reading level.
Our class will be starting to learn how to read to self independently starting next week. We will develop a class I-chart. This will discuss the students expectations while reading to self as well as the teachers expectations.
Keep posted for what read to self looks like in our classroom.
