It surprised me when a student…
The strangest job I ever had…
The weirdest gift I ever got…

Pick the best story to share with the whole group
What is the Daily 5?
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.
Management Systems: How we have
evolved…
Our first years

Teaching and learning
behaviors
We would mention
behaviors once and
expect students to
know and do them.
Now with the Daily 5
We teach and practice
skills until behaviors
become habits and
“default” behaviors.
Management Systems: How we have
evolved…
Our first years

Expectations about
students
We thought students should come
to us knowing the appropriate
behaviors.
Now with the Daily 5
We know that each class is
different, and we spend at
least 20 days building
community, defining and
practicing behaviors, building
stamina, and assessing the
needs of this particular group
of children.
Management Systems: How we have
evolved…
Our first years

Now with the Daily 5
Monitoring student
behavior
We monitored student
behavior.
Students self-monitor
their behavior.
Management Systems: How we have
evolved…


Now with the Daily 5
Small groups
Table points written on
board and awarded
by teacher.
Groups of students
practice and
encourage each other
on defined, desired
behaviors.


Now with the Daily 5
Individual
Individual “star cards”
with stars awarded by
teacher.
Individual students
reflect with self and
confer with teacher
and class about their
particular behavior
goals they are
working to achieve.
The Five Tasks of the Daily 5
Read to Yourself
Read to Someone
Work on Writing
Listening to Reading
Spelling/Word Work

Core foundations of the Daily 5






Trusting students
Providing choice
Nurturing community
Creating a sense of urgency
Building stamina
Staying out of students’ way once routines are
established
Sense of Urgency



The sense of urgency comes from understanding why we
are doing something.
The purpose for each task should be clear, so the
activity becomes worthy of concentrated effort and
time.
Explain to students why they:
read to themselves
read to someone
listen to reading
write
complete word work tasks
Stamina



The stamina needed for the Daily 5 is much like the
stamina needed for physical activity.
If we start with a task that children have no stamina
for or lack the ability to do, they are not only
doomed to frustration and failure, but why would
the ever return to that activity on their own?
It takes time to build stamina. Be patient!
Why use the Daily 5?
The Daily 5 allows us to have instruction time in oneon-one and small group settings because the bulk of
the class is independently engaged in worthwhile
and meaningful activities.

Taking A Look
Line up according to the years of teaching
experience.
Reciprocal Teaching Jobs
Notetaker
(Stars)
Your job is to predict
what will happen in
the next section. You
need to base your
prediction on
something such as clues
you got from the
reading.

Reader
(Smiley Face)
Your job is to begin
reading the section(s)
assigned and
delegate next reader.

Reciprocal Teaching Jobs
Reporter
(Sun)
Your job is to report out
and share the
information your group
discussed to the whole
group.

Questioner
(Frog)
Your job is to come up
with questions to ask
your group. You want
to design questions
that might start with
these words: Explain,
Describe, Identify, List,
Characterize, Classify

Reciprocal Teaching Jobs
Summarizer
(Lady Bugs)
Your job is to lead a
group discussion and
respond to questions
that occurred during
the reading.

Chapter Presentations
In your groups, use the reciprocal teaching model to create a visual
representation of the material in your section and share with the
group.

Putting The Daily Five Into Action
Line yourselves up according to the grade level
you will be teaching during the 2011-2012
school year.
Stamina
Stamina may be a new word for your students. If so, listen in while Joan
works with Christie and her students. She tells a story about stamina that we
use with all grade levels. We relate stamina to running, because many
students have background knowledge with running, being tired and pushing
themselves to run a bit farther. Listen and watch the children begin to
understand how stamina relates to reading. We believe teaching the
students the word stamina will help them stick with reading, even when it is
hard. Joan tells them honestly that some days it will be harder than others to
stick with their reading. They will be faced with the opportunity to push
through that feeling and stick with it, knowing the best way to become a
better reader is to read.

Launching Read To Self


This video of Christie's 4th grade students shows the
process of taking the two dimensional 'I chart' for
Read to Self and making it three dimensional.
Students take their ideas and immediately apply
them in practice, later reflecting and refining for
success.

Check In Between Rotations
In between each
round of Daily 5
there is time for
a focus lesson,
brain break,
check in and/or
sharing. These
short bursts of
instruction allow
for brain
compatible
learning as well
as shifting
student's
attention,
allowing them to
go back into
their next round
of Daily 5 with
renewed
stamina.

Work on Writing

Video clip on
how to hold
writing
conferences
and mini
lessons with a
small group.

This small group of writers is meeting with Gail
and Natalie to discuss word choice. Gail uses 2
different pieces of writing to demonstrate the
purpose of finding the right words:
* to make the piece more interesting
* to help the reader understand what the author
is saying.

Sharing at the End
Sharing can be a powerful teaching time as well as a chance to
celebrate growth. In this video, Joan has asked Janice and Brady to
share because they both have something to offer that will benefit the
class. After sharing, the students describe what they noticed these young
writers doing well. Compliments vary from content, to conventions, to
behaviors of independence. The little sentence strip book is a great
option for students who want to practice heart words.

Word Work
“Creating and
maintaining a
time to focus on
words is critical
to developing
readers, writers,
and
communicators.”


Using the Tree Map, discuss and
generate activities that focus on spelling
and vocabulary work.
Think of activities that allow your
students to experiment, practice, add,
and generalize patterns.
Work On Writing
“We have
seen a direct
correlation
between
student
motivation ,
ability, and
productivity
and this
increase in
writing
practice.”

Using the Circle Map generate writing
ideas that fosters meaning for students.
Ideas for
Writing
Read To Self and Read To Someone
“I’m
advocating a
carefully
designed,
structured
reading
program that
includes
demonstrating,
teaching,
guiding,
monitoring,
evaluating,
and goal
setting along
with voluntary
reading of
books students
choose…”


Brainstorm ways to teach about
selecting Good Fit Books.
You may consider creating bookmarks,
posters, etc.
Listen To Reading
“ We need a
definite
purpose, a
specific
reason for
listening,
otherwise we
don’t pay
attention and
don’t really
hear or
understand.”


Using the internet, explore activities the
promote Listening to reading.
