Daily 5
We have just begun our Daily 5 and CAFÉ adventure! This is the reading and writing program
implemented in my classroom. Daily 5 is the structure we will use to plan our language arts class. Students will be busy completing meaningful literacy tasks.
The choices will be:
1) Read to self
2) Work on writing
3) Word Work
4) Listen to reading
5) Read to Someone
While the students are completing their literacy tasks, I will be meeting with small groups and conferencing with individual students. Daily 5 is how we schedule our language arts class. CAFÉ is what we study during this time. CAFÉ is an acronym for the four major components of reading. They are:
1) C for Comprehension
2) A for Accuracy
3) F for Fluency
4) E for Expanding Vocabulary
The students will learn reading strategies within each category. These strategies will become
tools for the students to use to help themselves become better readers and writers.
