What is the exact title of the Daily 5 book? Thanks...Leslie In a message dated 6/26/2008 10:41:44 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Stephanie, First of all, there are several Yahoo groups focusing on Daily 5. One is Daily5, one is Daily5BookStudy (1 chapter per week), and someone mentioned another one for "firsties"--but don't know the name of it. I used Daily 5 last year in 2nd grade (1st time for 2nd gr for me). My reading workshop revolves around the Daily 5, altho we usually only got 3 choices in, sometimes 2, as I would take one choice occasionally for teaching comprehension strategies (took longer than a typical minilesson, since I was reading an entire picture book, or using poems). I also kept writing separate--Lucy Calkins. However, I did do minilessons for decoding strategies, etc. The independent practice was my favorite part--the kids did a great job building stamina and everyone from low to high levels improved over the year. I'm convinced it was because of all the extra time reading. It will take at least 6 weeks to build stamina and get everyone doing what they're supposed to be doing. I started taking individual kids for assessments once everyone had reached 8-9 minutes of stamina. When the class reached 15 minutes, I started taking groups for instruction. Hope that helps. I encourage you to join one or more of the Daily 5 groups.

I definitely am looking forward to teaching this in the fall.
