What is Daily 5?
Daily 5 is the set-up we use for English Language Arts (ELA). It is made up of 5 components: Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading, Working With Words, and Small Group. Students will actually only be doing three of the components daily, but the choice is up to them on which of the five parts they select from for any given day.
Read to Self
Students are in charge of choosing "good fit books" that are just right for them to read. This is the time they are allowed to get comfy in a bean bag, and get lost in a book! :)

Read to Someone
This is when students get to practice their reading fluency and expression, while they are reading to a peer. Then the peer will take their turn to read, and students will be asked to retell what they just heard from the peer. This helps with comprehension, as well as getting to hear and practice good reading.

Listen to Reading
Just what the title says: Students will be listening to fluent readers read. It may be listening to a book on cd, while following along in the book; it may be listening and watching a celebrity read online; or it may be following along with a non-fiction article while it's read aloud to them, online. The whole point is that students are listening to what great reading sounds like.

Working With Words
Students can't become better readers, or writers, without learning new words, spelling patterns, and word parts. That what this component is all about: manipulating word sorts, writing words that have the same pattern, looking for those words in books, and learning the meanings by using resources like a dictionary.

Small Group
This is the time when 4-5 students will meet with Ms. Stribling at the small group table, and work on specific reading skills and strategies that group needs. Students are grouped based on their current reading level.
