The management structure you need to simplify your literacy block.

Thousands of classrooms around the world use Daily 5 to build independent learners who develop a true love of reading.

What's Daily 5?

During Daily 5, students engage independently in authentic reading and writing so that you can meet with students one-on-one and in small groups.

Imagine a classroom where all students are spread around the room, working independently, and all you hear is a soft hum of productive reading and writing.

This is a reality in a Daily 5 classroom and allows you, the teacher, to meet with students individually and in small groups to teach each student what they need most.

Why Daily 5?

Are one or more of these true for you in your classroom?

Just one of these can make you feel unsuccessful as a teacher.

How it works

The magic in Daily 5 is found in how we teach students to be independent and make progress towards their language arts goals.

1
We are explicit with instruction. We take the guesswork out, leaving students the bandwidth to focus on learning.
2
We establish rock solid routines so students develop muscle memory.
3
We introduce new information gradually, and spend time to gain time.
4
We provide students with choice to solidify their engagement and accountability.
5
We are proactive by providing clear expectations, so that student behavior doesn't cause us to be reactive.
