If so, you'll want to meet “The Sisters”, Gail Boushey and Joan Moser. Based on literacy learning and motivation research, they created a structure called The Daily Five which has been practiced and refined in their own classrooms for ten years, and shared with thousands of teachers throughout the United States. The Daily Five is a series of literacy tasks (reading to self, reading with someone, writing, word work, and listening to reading) which students complete daily while the teacher meets with small groups or confers with individuals.</p><p>This book not only explains the philosophy behind the structure, but shows you how to carefully and systematically train your students to participate in each of the five components.</p><p>Explicit modeling practice, reflecting and refining take place during the launching phase, preparing the foundation for a year of meaningful content instruction tailored to meet the needs of each child.</p><p>The Daily Five is more than a management system or a curriculum framework; it is a structure that will help students develop the habits that lead to a lifetime of independent literacy.</p></DIV> 813569 1 4 2006 The Daily Five: Fostering Literacy Independence in the Elementary Grades total:111|5:53|4:41|3:16|2:1|1:0| 111 479 178 38 3 0 false false Sun Apr 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 12:06:46 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 12:13:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jun 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 13:03:40 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 15:52:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 21:22:01 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 10:04:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Nov 26 19:13:29 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 19:18:35 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Wed Jan 21 19:17:01 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 16:51:27 -0800 2009 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Apr 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 13 09:23:36 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 09:23:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Apr 30 15:40:54 -0700 2009 Sat May 23 08:43:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Aug 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 17:34:52 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 00:44:28 -0700 2008 Update: I just finished reading this book and all I can say is that I LOVE IT!
