Daily 5
Daily 5 is a literacy structure that teaches independence and gives
children the skills needed to create a lifetime love of reading and
writing. It consists of 5 tasks that are introduced individually. When
introduced to each task, the children discuss what it looks like, sounds
like, and feels like to engage in the task independently. Then, the
children work on building their stamina until they are successful at
being independent while doing that task.
