The Daily 5 Tasks
Read to Self
The best way to become a better reader is to practice each day with "Good Fit" books that you have selected for yourself.
Work on Writing
Just like reading, the best way to become a better writer is to write each day.
Read to Someone
Partner reading provides opportunities to practice strategies, improve fluency, check for understanding, and hear your own voice while sharing in the learning community.
Word Work
Expanded vocabulary leads to greater fluency in reading, therefore increasing comprehension. Becoming more proficient as a speller leads to writing fluency and the ability to get your ideas down on paper.
Listen to Reading
Just hearing fluent and expressive reading of good literature expands your vocabulary; helps build your stamina and will make you a better reader.

Daily 5 Schedule
Comprehension Mini-lesson: Students learn and practice a comprehension strategy through a read-aloud and a chance to practice the comprehension strategy independently or with a classmate
Breakout 1: Students complete a Daily 5 task; teacher leads Guided Reading Groups and 1:1 student conferences
Fluency/Grammar/Expanding Vocabulary Mini-Lesson: This mini-lesson is split into one of three topics throughout the week. Students improve fluency through the use of poetry, decodable readers, and leveled readers.
