Daily+Five+Language+Arts

=﻿=  · The Daily 5 is an exciting way to structure our Reading block! It consists of 5 literacy options for your child to choose from. They include:  · 1. Read to Self  · 2. Work on Writing  · 3. Read with Someone  · 4. Word Work  · 5. Listening to Reading  · Talk with your child and find out which one is their favorite!! · I will be working with students and groups on their reading and writing goals during this time.

During this structure, each student will have a person reading goal based on a CAFE or "FACE"( in our classroom.) strategy. The CAFÉ menu is a collection of highly effective reading strategies that the students will be taught to use, to help them become better readers. They are organized into four goals: • C is for Comprehension: “I understand what I read.” • A is for Accuracy: “I can read the words.” • F is for Fluency: “I can read smoothly, with expression.” • É is for Expanding Vocabulary: “I know, find, and use interesting words.” = We also talk a lot about finding the "Right Fit" book. We use a "five finger rule". When you read a page or two, hold up a finger for each word you get stuck on. If you end up with more than three fingers, that book is to hard for you. They need to learn to select books of interest using this rule in order to become better readers!! = = =
