Daily+Five

The Daily 5 is a series of literacy tasks which students complete daily while the teacher meets with small groups or confers with individuals. The Daily 5 is more than a management system or a curriculum framework – it is a structure that will help students develop the daily habits of reading, writing and working with peers that will lead to a lifetime of independent literacy.

 There are five main activities in the Daily 5:



Each of these involves the following: The Daily Five was developed by the 'Two Sisters' - Gail Boushey and Joan Moser. They have two main books that describe the principles behind the Daily Five:

The Daily Five

The CAFE Book

They also have some excellent DVDs as well.

I particularly recommend One Morning - this takes you through a whole morning in a Year One classroom as Daily 5 is implemented.
