Daily Five Literacy Programme
The Daily Five is a literacy structure that teaches self managing skills and fosters a lifetime love of reading and writing. It consists of five tasks: Reading with the Teacher, Reading by Myself, Reading with a buddy, Word Work, Work on Writing. Students choose their activity and may do two activities per session if they need to.(Reading with the Teacher is set by the Teacher) They mark their daily activities on their checklist and make sure they have a balanced coverage of activities over the week.
When introduced to each task, the children discuss what it looks like, sounds like, and feels like to engage in the task independently. Then, the children work on building their stamina until they are successful at being independent while doing that task.When all five tasks have been introduced and the children are fully engaged in reading and writing activities, I am able to work with small groups and confer with children one on one. This structure is effective, the results are amazing, and the children really look forward to Daily Five time.
