Accelerate Learning:
Engaging the Rest of the Class During Small Group Instruction with The Daily 5

Do you love teaching but feel exhausted from the energy you expend cajoling, disciplining, and directing students on a daily basis? If so, you’ll want to join “The Sisters,” Gail Boushey and Joan Moser, for this lively and informative session.

This session will focus on The Daily Five, an elegantly simple structure based on literacy learning and motivation research designed to develop, support, accelerate, and motivate students to be engaged for long periods of time in the act of reading. The Daily 5 is a series of research-based literacy tasks which students complete daily while allowing the teacher time to confer with individuals and meet with small groups.

The session will explain the philosophy behind the structure, and will teach you how to carefully and systematically teach your students to build stamina and independence in Daily 5 or any activity.

The Daily Five is more than a management system or a curriculum framework; it is a structure that will help students develop the habits that lead to a lifetime of independent literacy.
