The Daily Five: Fostering Literacy Independence in the Primary Years
Gail Boushey & Joan Moser
Do you love teaching but feel exhausted from the energy you expend cajoling, disciplining, and directing pupils on a daily basis? If so, this title is for you! Based on literacy learning and motivation research, the authors have created a framework they called ‘The Daily Five’ which has been practiced and refined in their own classrooms for ten years, and shared with thousands of teachers worldwide. The Daily Five is a series of literacy tasks (reading to self, reading with someone, writing, word work, and listening to reading) which pupils complete daily while the teacher works with small groups or individuals.
This book not only explains the philosophy behind the structure, but shows you how to carefully and systematically help your pupils to participate in each of the five components.
The Daily Five is more than a management system or a curriculum framework; it is a structure that will help pupils develop the habits that lead to a lifetime of independent literacy.
