Product Description
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 meet “The Sisters”, Gail Boushey and Joan Moser. Based on literacy learning and motivation research, they created a structure called The Daily Five which has been practiced and refined in their own classrooms for ten years, and shared with thousands of teachers throughout the United States. The Daily Five is a series of literacy tasks (reading to self, reading with someone, writing, word work, and listening to reading) which students complete daily while the teacher meets with small groups or confers with individuals. This book not only explains the philosophy behind the structure, but shows you 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 tailored to meet the needs of each child. 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.

Amazing results! August 16, 2010

I started my first year of teaching using the teachings of Debbie Diller's workstations. I liked this format, but my students weren't responding as well as I had hoped to it. I purchased the Daily 5 and read it in just a few hours, like many other people. I was swayed the minute I finished the book and knew I had to try it, even though it was in the middle of the school year. My students responded very well to it. Despite a few off task behaviors at times (who doesn't have those with any program?!), the kids were engaged and became very strong readers.
I also started using this format for math. I do four rotations for math and language arts, not Listening to Reading, and I have so much less paperwork and planning to do. I love having the chance to do mini-lessons that engage my students and allow them to apply them during their rotations. I just wish I had more time in the day to do additional rotations because they kids stay so focused on what they're doing, time flies! It makes my life easier, and I love the point in the school year after I've gotten the procedures into the kids' muscle memories so we can begin!!
 Great resource for teachers August 8, 2010

I have been looking for a way to keep students actively engaged in educational projects while I worked with small groups of children during our guided reading block. With the Daily 5, I now have a way that all students can be learning even though the teacher is not directly in front of them. Excellent examples were given and it is a very easy read. Great job to the 2 sisters!!
Excellent resource book!!! July 25, 2010

The Daily Five offers a great resource to structure a classroom of learners for the teacher who is beginning to teach a group of young literacy learners. GREAT RESOURCE of classroom structure and expectation! There is a structure of expectations for each minute of the literacy time. I am excited to introduce this to my First Graders this Fall.
Excellent resourse July 16, 2010

As soon as I found out about the Daily 5 I ordered it along with CAFE. I devoured both books and am very anxious for school to start so I can follow it for my reading/writing block. If it works as well as I feel, this year should be fantastic!!
