  • Daily 5 – Reading or Writing Student Conference

    I have just made this resource to assist my Teacher Aide(s) in meeting with regular students during Daily 5. It outlines various questions and learning based conversations to have as to what the student has chosen to meet with them about (either Reading or Writing). This helps support the student to make choices, and depending on what stage they are up to with their writing or reading determines the kind of responses and coaching the teacher aide will provide.

    While this has been developed for a Teacher Aide to use, it can also be used by Teachers as well. It largely follows the same kind of conference I have with my students when I meet with them.

    The idea behind this would be to fold it in half and laminate it. Then it can sit in a folder in class, or be stuck to the wall somewhere and depending on what the student chooses, the resource can just be flipped to the relevent side. It can sit along side the Teacher or Teacher Aide as they conference with the student.

  • Introducing Daily 5 – Prezi Presentation

    It’s the start of the year, and one of the most important things is to begin how you mean to go on.

    From day one, I begin my classroom routine, especially for Daily 5.

    The last few years I’ve been relying on a Powerpoint found on Pinterest to introduce and explain Daily 5 to my new class.

    This year I decided to make my own, taking aspects from this powerpoint, but also adding my own things, and truncating some of the information to keep up with the declining attention span of my students.

    Feel free to use this as you begin your journey into Daily 5.

  • Mannequin Challenge – Daily 5

    As a bit of End of Year fun, I got my students to make a quick video of our favourite part of each day – the Daily 5. In the video you’ll get a glimpse of what the Daily 5 are, what happens during Daily 5, and why the kids love it so much.

    Enjoy!

  • The Impact of Daily 5 Continues

    Introduction

    Previously I wrote about the impact of Daily 5 in a Year 3 and 4 class.
    In this article I focus in on some of those students, as well as others, who have made progress under Daily 5.
    For privacy, I will call students by generic anglo-saxon names.

    What happened to Jake?

    In the previous article we investigated the impact that Daily 5 had on Jake, a student in the class who was a reluctant reader.

    I have continued to monitor Jake’s progress, but also his attitude. In a recent questionnaire conducted with the class, I asked what their favourite thing to do in their spare time was. Jake’s response was “Reading”; something which would not have been directly obvious if his prior results had shown us without the intervention of Daily 5. You can find out more about Jake’s progress later on.

  • The Impact of Daily 5

    Introduction

    I have seen first hand the benefits of Daily 5, as have the initiators of the programme when they first started it.
    In this article I focus in on one particular student in my class this year.
    For privacy, I will call this student Jake.

    Jake is a student that many classes will have. He is a Māori boy from a relatively large family. While he experiences a degree of poverty each day, he is well kept, well clothed, and generally has lunch. At times he is truant from school, but generally enjoys his days here, and has a good mix of friends. He gets along well with everyone, and treats others with respect. He can get angry at times, but doesn’t over react.

    Academically, Jake has struggled with Reading since starting school. Over the years he has been a part of various different literacy initiatives to try and get him up to a sustainable reading level so that he can keep up with his chronological age, and his peers. His Writing ability is similar to that of Reading, and while he has reasonably good spelling, he wouldn’t be considered a ‘confident writer’.

    What is Daily 5?

    Daily 5 is based completely around five activities linked directly to improving student’s Literacy. They are: Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading, Work on Writing, and Word Work. The combination of these five activities provide a solid foundation for all students to work independently and at a suitable level for them. The ability for students to choose their own activity allows for intrinsic motivation for learning, and sets these students up to become independent learners.

    In Daily 5, there are ample opportunities for students to read and to practice reading. Using the CAFE menu (Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, Expand vocabulary) as a structure, teachers can provide students with strategies to help them with their reading specifically tailored for that student.

    Daily 5 also provides opportunities for students to write, and write, and write. Students are motivated by choosing what they write about, and then whole class teaching focusses in on general trends noticed in the class, or specific lessons on different genres.
