It’s
“The Daily 5” at Blair Moody Elementary School!
In
Mrs. Harig’s classroom, second- and third-graders are busy doing the Daily 5
Reading Workshop model. The Daily 5 gives students a choice in authentic
literacy activities every day.
Research
shows that students have higher achievement in reading and writing when they
are offered a choice in what they’re doing during Reading Workshop.
Students may choose to Listen to Reading, Read to Someone, Read to Self,
Working on Writing, or do Word Work.
Several
rounds are completed each day (with each child making a new choice for each
round), along with small Guided Reading Groups or individual conferences with
the teacher. Along with choice of activity, students learn to Choose Good
Fit Books that are just right for their level and interest.
While
the teacher appreciates the independent, on-task behavior exhibited during
Daily 5 and the growth students demonstrate throughout the year, the students
just think the Daily 5 is FUN!
