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.
Daily 5 has revolutionized many practices in my classroom over the past 6 years, not just the way I teach reading. The 10 steps are excellent and are broadly applied to all routines in the classroom.
My colleague and I mentor others in the Daily 5 framework in our school and it has yielded great results in reading in the state standardised tests. Although its not the reason we want kids to read - it sure gets school and district leadership interested in what we are doing in the classroom! Implementing Daily 5 in all classrooms has now become a part of our school plan."

I was on a mission to try and figure out how to get more than a year’s growth with struggling readers while simultaneously knowing I was getting a class with above grade level readers. I went to a county training on guided reading and they suggested daily 5 as a structure for what the kids are doing. After launching that, I bought the CAFE book in January. All of my kids made growth and now I am year two."
