#758 The Daily 5 with the Sisters

Spend a day with “The Sisters,” and improve literacy learning in your classroom!

Do you love teaching but feel exhausted from the energy you expend cajoling, disciplining, and directing students? If so, you'll want to meet "The Sisters," Gail and Joan. Based on literacy learning and motivations research, they created a structure called The Daily Five - a series of literacy tasks (reading to self, reading with someone, writing, word work, and listening to reading) your students complete daily while you meet with small groups or confer with individuals. Learn how to carefully and systematically train your students to participate in each of the five components. Explicit modeling practice, reflecting and refining take place during the launching phase, preparing the foundation for a year of meaningful content instruction.

More than a management system or a curriculum framework, The Daily Five is a structure that will help develop habits for lifelong learning.
